Esoteric P02 Belt Replacments. Proper Size Question. Any Tips or Suggestions?

Hello all:

The drive tray in my Esoteric P02 gets stuck occasionally and needs new belts. I am going to attempt changing these myself. I realize it’s an involved process to swap these out for a VRDS drive mechanism—especially the second belt that props the tray—but I am feeling confident. I have three questions for anyone on this forum who may know:

 

1. What size belts does this unit need? Will these VRDS 10 belts work or is it just your standard O-Ring? Link to the belts below:

2. I have seen some videos where techs place a little lube on the cogs and rails. I am hesitant to grease the insides, but it seems like many of the techs dab a drip or two. What type works best if I decided to do this? I have seen some recommend sewing machine oil.

 

3. Any tips or cautions, especially for the impossible-to-reach belt?

 

Thank you so much!

Jeremy

I'm also experiencing issues w/ a P-02.  The tray will not eject, and gives an error message on the screen.  After recycling the power a couple of times, the tray did function, and I was at least able to remove the disc that was in the unit.  Since retracting, it has not ejected again, however.

Just to confirm, the link posted above for the belts (https://marvac.com/products/scb2-5?_pos=1&_sid=09740e28b&_ss=r) is correct for the P-02?

Did you ever determine the appropriate part number for the Bando belt?

Thanks.
