Another fairly
common one that can cause the same problem, is a split in the nylon pinion
on the shaft of the sled motor. If you push the sled manually down the
slides, you can feel it go bump-bump-bump as the gears rotate. Nothing can
be done about that one, except to replace the pinion from a scrap deck.

Sorry to hijack this thread. Just remembered something. ARFA: I have
an ONKYO cd player gathering dust with this cracked sled pinion
problem; any ideas on sourcing a replacement or shall I just toss it?
(it's not a 'high end' deck anyway).
