Searching for a DC motor Denon tape deck
 

Hi guys

I hope this is the right place to post a question like this, you all
seem to be quite knowledgeable.

I've got a Denon DRM-700 tape deck. It looks like the capstan motor has
died on it. I've Googled for the model and can't find anything. I was
hoping one of you might be able to help.

The labels on it are DC12V MMU-5B3LNJ Japan and there is a logo on it
that looks like an "M" inside a square with rounded corners. There's
voltage across the inputs and the motor isn't turning. If anyone can
help me with the manufacturer it would be a big help.

Thanks a lot
Martin

**If it is a standard belt drive deck (and I'm pretty certain that it is),
then the motor is a standard type, available from a variety of sources.
Manufacturer is not important as different types possess the same
characteristics. The only things you need to worry about a

* Direction of rotation (CCW is more common than CW) The 'L' in the number
suggests a CCW motor.
* Operating Voltage (12 Volts, which yours is) is most common.
* Mounting holes. They're all pretty much the same nowadays.
* Drive shaft diameter. They're all the same nowadays.
* Single or dual speed. Two wire motors are single speed.

Matsu****a.



** Nah - they use an arrow head pointed triangle as a logo.

More likely Mabuchi or Maxon.
