Update on mechanism/tray problem: After viewing some of video on youtube I was directed to, I found, and applied, some light synthetic grease with teflon.
The good news is the fray will now go in and out without the shuddering it was doing, but the motor that powers the tray seems to be laboring, and is a bit slower than it was. I didn't take it apart to find out if there is a belt, but I don't recall seeing one when I replaced the optics a few months ago. I don't know how long the motor that powers the tray will last, but it is working better.
That's how things stand now. Thanks to all of you for your help. Regards,
Dan

Thanks! for the update- Dan.
Yesterday, I was able to contact the parts department at Teac America, and asked about the availability of a new transport. I was told they are on order, and should arrive sometime this month. The price is less than expected, $297.27.
I think I will call them again, and see if I can reserve one, they may not have ordered too many, and I don't want to miss out.
Regards, and thanks,
Dan
Looking for an update- Dan?
My last post covered pretty much the outcome of the situation with the transport on the DV 60. To recap, using light grease with teflon, I was able to free up the tray so it is usable, though I still have to assist it with a gentle push both directions.
I was able to purchase a new transport mechanism from Teac America, and have it stored so that I will be prepared if, and when, the transport dies.
Thanks and regards,
Dan
Thanks! for sharing- Dan.
keep me posted, especially, if you have to replace the drive/laser assembly.
Fantja, ironically, a couple of months after I bought the player, the laser went out on it. I ordered, and installed, the laser assembly, which has worked flawlessly ever since.
The ironic part of this tale is, the new transport assembly cost less ($297.27, and it includes the laser assembly, versus $320 for just the laser assembly). I'm trying to make the existing transport last as long as I can before switching to the new one, just out of spite.
Regards,
Dan
The most important factor is that TEAC/Esoteric stands behind these products by offering parts + service!
Oh yes, Dan-
I would wait for the current drive/transport to totally die off, prior to any servicing.
Much Thanks! Dan.
