Recently, I acquired a Pioneer CLD-D504 from the interwebs, and came in the mail expecting it to have at least one issue from some shipping damage, which luckily was minor. Then after cleaning the belt a little bit, I realized the motor was making a horrible grinding noise, which thankfully was just a loose screw that I was able to fix successfully.
Today however, the grinding noise came back, but this time, the plastic on the motor gear seems to be a little messed up (see attached photo).
It still technically works, but I'm fearing that eventually the gear might get out of shape to the point of no return.
Is there someway to fix it, or any possibility to find a replacement motor for the player?
(BTW, I'm new to the forums here, so don't mind me if I do something a little weird
)
