Hi,

Could anyone help me where to find a CD tray belt for Marantz SA-11S1, SA15S1 and SA8400 series. The drive was also used in some of the Denon players.

Thanks,
t.

 you might try this.

Take the belt to a ball bearing outlet (like Motion, or Bearings Incorporated, and Dixie Bearings). Most sell belts like that, or can put you into a supplier. Another option is to add an idler wheel to take up the slop in the belt.

 You can clean the belt with alcohol to see if it works.

 When I am unable to find a belt through player or drive mechanism model number I measure the belt and order a couple of different sizes close just in case. They are not very expensive if you don't mind a long (typo edit) "shipping" time ordering overseas. Each size usually comes in packs of ten. Nice to have extras on hand.

I don't remember exactly where I last ordered from but the link is a good example.

 Go to your local hardware store with the belt. Buy an O-Ring from the plumbing section that is the closest match for the size of the belt. Will likely work just as well as an OEM replacement and cost you less than a dollar.

 I've done this on an ancient Mission DAD 7000 CD player. It worked great, but the CD player doesn't sound very good to me. Oh well!

If the belt is still intact, the OP might want to try boiling it. I've done this with turntable belts and it worked well, but as you say, not an "audiophile" solution. The belt on my Mission had broke.
