rsdave wrote: Hi, I was watching an LD this weekend and when the disk finished and I ejected it, something inside sounded like it went spinning off at high speed. After removing the cover and some considerable time later I was able to recover the spring and broken PRC hub, which had lodged itself deep inside. As expected, the three clips are broken off rendering the part (VNL1684) useless.
I've tried PacParts and various other sources but every time I'm told the part is discontinued. OK, so the player is 20 years old so this isn't unexpected.
It's a real shame, as otherwise the player is cosmetically perfect and was working flawlessly. The only other failure I've experienced was the power supply, and that was simply the startup cap that had dried out.
If anyone can help source or offer advice on how to obtain this part for me I'd be eternally grateful.
Dave. If you were in the US I could ship you parts

Thanks everyone, in the end I went with the complete spindle motor replace, I picked up a good used one from eBay. During the repair I replaced both drive belts as well. I'm pleased to report after a long soak test on both LD's and DVD's that I once again have a healthy DVL-909 ! I took photographs along the way as I carried out the repair, they might be useful. https://photos.app.goo.gl/sjaTGy4upLh5xdX97Dave.

In my case it was not necessary to align the spindle motor, after playing at least a dozen LD's and DVD's all the way through it shows no sign of glitches whatsoever. All in all a great result
