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.
