Parts for an Arcam DV 139?


Hello all,

My much-used  and loved Arcam DV 139 universal player is having trouble with its disc drawer. It closes, but will not load the disc, unless I hold it in until it loads. I thought I had it fixed when I disassembled and lubed up the drawer, but it went back to doing just as it was.

I can't find a source for parts, anyone know who sells them?

Happy Thanksgiving, regards,

Dan

Many CD/DVD player vendors used standard disc trays for their product (such as a Phillips dvd tray unit).  If you are able to pull the tray out of your case, you might be able to find a manufacture name and part number.  It -might- be possible to find a replacement on the web or ebay.  I'm not guaranteeing that this would work, but it might be your best bet unless Arcam used a proprietary tray.

Yes, jafant, I do own an Esoteric DV60, but due to wild weather where I live, sometimes there are problems with power surges. One such event took away its ability to play multi-channel discs, so I bought a used Arcam, which sounds very good, but it's getting long in the tooth (like me), and needs  some maintenance.

Regards,

Dan
