Questions on PHILIPS TRANSPORT MECHANISIM

The CDM PRO2 is used in the large jukebox players you see in bars and everywhere else. I also never heard of them breaking. Choice of just about any player with a dedicated cd transport with a toploader which i like vs the drawer, less moving parts.The cdm-1 was an outstanding unit but do not make any longer. This unit is from the highend days of the late 80's and earyly 90's when transports where not made from plastic. This is one reason i looked for the CDM PRO2 for my transport.

If you go to Ebay and click on HOME AUDIO and then type in MARANTZ, scroll thru the pages as there is a person selling a replacement gear that is orange for various players with this transport. Your Theta data basic is mentioned that this gear will fit. This is what the site says;
