Problem with CEC transport


Hello all
 

I have a CEC TL5 transport, and it is the Japanese model, so I cannot get it serviced in the United States. All of a sudden the transport starts freezing up after two or three minutes. The disk continues to turn and I have recently checked the belt, so I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue. Any ideas as to what the problem might be, how to fix it, or where I could take it in the United States for service?

Check out these Dindiki belts from Germany. They're made out of silicon and are permanently dimensionally stable unlike those black butyl belts which rot and deform. 

Just scroll down to see your model. 

All the best,
Nonoise

I am in New Jersey and we can service the unit.

 

Let me know if we can help.

 

Thanks nonoise, I'll get a few silicon belts for stock.

I purchased my CEC from Canada through the official

North American importer at the time so not gray market.

Not sure how the current importer would handle this one though.

I purchased a used TL-5 in Europe, and while I have had no problems with the transport, I was able to replace the remote with an older/different version that I preferred, and it was done solely through direct contact with Ken Ishiwata (not the Marantz legend) of CEC in Japan.

He was very responsive and helpful.

So while it may not be necessary in this case, that is always an option.

Thank you whipsaw, I contacted him and he simply referred me to Tom in Arizona, and I hit my roadblock again with him.
