CAL Delta Problem

Hi, My Delta Transport lately has started having a "mind of its own", in that the Drawer many times retracts back in automatically by itself. Sometimes very quickly, and sometimes after a few seconds. (Using either face button, or remote) At times it's a pain, and a guessing game loading CDs.

I sprayed the Switch with a bit of DeOXIt, and it seemed a bit better, but still on occasion does it. You folks have any ideas what the real problem might be? Thanks, Mark

I'm going to call Approve Audio about modifying my Units. I hear this was available a few years ago. Any Cal owners have any feedback on these mods?

Hello again all,
I have been in touch with Larry at Approvedaudio.

Larry has been extremely prompt, helpful, and friendly with his replies to me about the mentioned issues with my Delta.

Larry did state that the Belt for the Drawer is avaliable through them for $7.50 ea plus shipping, and that's good news.

I'm going to order a couple of belts from them. I'll replace the original Belt with a new one, and keep the other new spare Belt, and original Belt stashed-stored in light-proof plastic bag for possible future use if I have a need for it. I suspect with the new Belt, I should be good to go for another 10 years! :-) Thanks again folks! Mark

Well, I ordered two Belts from Larry, and the money's on it's way to him.

Playing my system tonight for 1-1/2 hours, the Delta is back to its old antics, with the Drawer closing immediately after opening, and in fact I jammed a 24au copy of Steve Miller Band's Greatest hits tonight in it. The unit's getting me so pissed off, I'm just about ready to take a Sledgehammer to it.

After the cleaning, and treating of the Belt two days ago, it was working so much better. Boy, that was sure short lived! :-(

I never had problems with the transport Drawer ever slipping. I'm doubting the new belt is going to be the fix, and I'm thinking this is most likely some other problem with the Transport that I'm experiencing? Mark
