Looked online for answer to sticky CD drawer issue and I think Jim also told me that I
need a 30mmID x 2mm rubber o ring Hate to order 50 from Amazon but its less than $4.
Any of you repair guys have an spare one laying around?
thanks
Mike

I'll check my bin later on, I could have one. Few years ago I got a multi pack from Advanced to fix the bearing on a Dual. So you could try an auto parts store or even an old school hardware store.

I found an incredible assortment of o rings at the hardware store on Green tree Road near the parkway entrance. I needed a couple to fix a Laserdisc player drawer and found what I needed, cheap too.

I checked my supply... Only have flat & square belts...
Sorry...

Thanks everyone. I will check some o the hardware, auto and home stores when I am out and about this week
If nothing turns up, I can always order 50 from Amazon for under $4

Repair update. I talked with Jim Pittsburgh yesterday morning before the Dow plunged another thousand points. (It was already down 2000.) He gave some useful advice about replacing the belt. I removed the belt from the DBX and, after picking up my supplies at the state store yesterday, I went to the Busy Beaver in Irwin and and found a similar size O ring. Got home and removed a gear on the player and installed the ring. Works like new. The D5 is now back in service!
Thanks again, Jim

Excellent!

Appreciated the call and glad I could be of a little help. Congrats on the D5. The only thing I did differently is I changed out the op-amps. It does make a difference.
