Marantz CD-72 tray gear broken, HeLp!

[AlfaRomeo6C]

Help, My beloved Marantz CD-72 broke its transport gear that opens the drawer and Marantz tells me it is obsolete and cannot get a part for me. I am sure someone know where I can get one of these from another machine or a supplier? From what I gather the transport, Philips CDM-4/19, is used in other CD players? How do I find out which ones? Thanks for your time, this is my first time on diyaudio.

Thanks guys. hanszl, the link doesn't work, too long of something?

Did you copy and paste the link? Or did you click on it? You can't copy and paste it. You have to click on it.

The link works for me.

Regards,

Hi,

Do you have a Picture of your mechanism?
If the mechanik is the same like in a Philips, maybe I can help you with a used part...

The link works now for some reason, I clicked on it like I did before. That is great! Now I can search eBay for these CD players with the same transport! I have posted a pic of my transport if anyone has the gear though on hand, that would be awesome! The gear is orange and the teeth go all the way to the edge of the pulley. Thanks again guys!

Sebastian- that looks like it will do the trick. I will send you an email from your contact info on your website. I know zero German so it is a little hard to navigate the other info on your website, sad for me.-Charles
