My 12 year-old Marantz CD player, as above, has developed a CD tray
problem. The plastic splined pulley which opens the tray has crumbled
along the spline. The tray now functions in a very jerky way and
occasionally needs a little manual assistance.

My local repair shop tells me that a replacement pulley is no longer
available, but I'm very reluctant to give the player the heave as
there's nothing else wrong and its sound reproduction is far superior
to that from the audio connections on my DVD player.

Would anybody have any idea please, where I might be able to obtain a
spare?

I think it may be a Philips transport, which might make getting a spare a
bit easier.

Does anyone know if this is a 'stock' fault on this transport? My CD52IISE
is of a similar vintage!!
