It is missunderstood here that there is a shortage of sled motors...
You need to order the "Loading motor assembly" part# A4672674A I have 2 times ordered, and I should recieve my second motor soon. I don't know if the part # is different in Europe, but the part description should still be the same.

That part number (A4672674A) comes up as discontinued on the Sony Parts Direct website. - sleeper 21:28:06 04/13/07 (1)
Just now ran it and it is listed as "unavailable".
- yes, and it was none in stock both times when I ordered.. but, I recieved all my parts... - rich121 21:42:37 04/13/07 (0)
  An ongoing parts problem... if you look at previous posts about these replacement parts, you will see that it is common for sony to show nothing in stock when you order.

Hi,
This is also good news, if the motor fits for sled assembly..?
However, looks like Sony charge around 90 USD for them, and are available only in USA.
Finding some alternative should still make some sense, considering the price..

- Yes, hopefully the Mabuchi motor is a match (nt) - rich121 11:25:38 04/13/07 (0)

The part number you referenced is the motor that drives the loading drawer on the chassis top cover-- not the CD sled/transport. To my knowledge the loading drawer motor is not a point of failure.

  Same motor, you just need to swap pulleys...

    Hi
    Is that a fact..?
    I finally take of the cover and inspect transport on my 777, sled motor is standard Mabuchi RF-300CH.
    Why Sony ships RF-500TB-12560 for sled motor replacement, it looks to be electrical quite different..
    Draw motor is covered with black plastic housing, looks like RF-500TB-12560, no markings on it..

      Deon,
      You remember this post right? I am not the only one that ordered this part from Sony (Sony changed the part # from the origional)

        Hi,
        Yes, of course, that is the post that did make me curios, because of RF-500TB-12560 markings on motor, this is standard Mabuchi motor.
        However, there is Mabuchi RF-300CH for sled motor in my 777, so I can only conclude that
        both of them, Mabuchi RF-300CH or RF-500TB-12560 should work fine.
        They are both available from many places, regardless of Sony�s spare-parts stock, what for me is a god thing to now.
        Thanks, regards, Davorin

        Any online vendors for the Mabuchi RF-300CH motor? I still think Stang ordered the wrong motor ass'y, and the RF-500TB is meant for the door and not compatible with the sled... until someone can confirm that the RF-500TB actually works as the sled motor...
        the spare sled motor I have is also the RF-300 one I think (which was previously discussed back a month or two ago).

        Drawer motor vs. sled motor - Dave Garretson 17:41:37 04/14/07 (1)

        I compared both assemblies today & these two motors have very different dimensions, different off-sets between mounting screws, and different off-sets between solder tabs. I have not removed the drawer motor from its rubber jacket, but it looks like it is much too big to fit in the sled motor bracket.
        
        Hmm.. looks like I will be calling Sony Mon., and getting a refund on 2 motors... - rich121 22:09:01 04/14/07 (0)

        I was told by Sony's Technical person that these were the same motor, so I ordered 2 of them.. looks like I will be returning them!
        Well... I thought I was giving the right information, as it was what was told to me from Sony...
