Upgrades to Cal Audio Delta Transport

I own(ed) all the above; Cal Delta / Alpha, current; CEC / Audio Logic 34.
Steve Huntley is great with the Cal stuff.
I sent my Delta & Alpha to him a few years back for a damping mod, worked great.
The Cal is VERY good for the $$.

"Just last week I put a Delta in the trash."

Vegasears- what foolish thing to do. All you had to do was
clean off the dried up grease on the transport drawl rails,
put on some fresh grease and it would have run for another ten years.

Jdombrow- if you're in the market for a new transport, take a look at the Stello(aprilmusic.com).

I know this is a very old thread, but wanted to add to it, so the info would be here for others to find:

I too, had the same problem with my CAL Delta Transport, that when the Drawer was opened, the Drawer would immediately close back up.

I tried some suggestions, as some mentioned a possible bad Belt, ordered a Belt from ApprovedAudio, no fix, pulled the Faceplate off, cleaned all the contacts, no fix, then tried something that a person advised, that the Micro Switches for the Drawer commonly have Silver Contacts, that they could be oxidized, and try a lit of DeOxIt on them.

They were a bit hard to access, hidden behind the Drawer Face, but once I got to them with some disassembly, and sprayed some DeOxIt on them, that cured the problem pronto, and 2-1/2-3 years later this bought in 1997 Transport is still working flawlessly ever since.
