The belt was from an ebay source for the 940 deck thing is it will play OK if you help it to draw the disc in and it ejects no problem so I think I will have to dismantle it again

Hi Stephen I changed the belt and noticed a spring that had come off I put this back as I thought it should be ...perhaps I need to revisit this again. I tracked down a youtube video where a very knowledgeable Russian guy dismantles the whole sled/laser unit but my Russian is non existent . Jim No problem more the merrier

Hi all After listening to a mdlp recording of 4 Heart albums for the last 2 years as I couldn't get the disc to eject from my Sony MDS JB 940 QS I thought I would just get on with it and get that belt changed...so after about 40 minutes I tested it and to my dismay C13 flashed up but with a twist the disc now ejected no problem. Off came the lid the 4 screws in the rubber mounts were removed and propped up on 3 Observers books the loader sled unit was at the right height to see what was going on. Basically when you put a disc in it made a half hearted attempt to draw it in failed and then ejected the disc. It seems that with a bit of persuasion the disc will drop down into the correct position do a TOC read and the disc will play OK and when required eject smoothly. The big question is if the sled load motor can eject the disc easily why won't it load properly? The next question is can another MDM-7A be sourced from a similar deck and cure this or is it terminal? Jim
