greetings and salutations, IDM headz!

any chance one of you guys/gals has an old Denon DN-200F MK III dual CD 
deck sitting around that you no longer want?  i'll pay good money for 
it.

the belts that operate the loading mechanisms broke on mine years ago, 
and it sat dormant while i was busy not DJing.  but life circumstances 
have changed, and was thinking about dusting off the 1s and 2s (those 
still work great!) and practicing my skillz.  it would be even more fun 
if i could mix in the digital side of my collection.

i opened up the MK III and installed some suitably-sized plumbing 
o-rings that work great as new belts!  i got one side of the deck 
working, but i carelessly bent some electronic components on the other 
circuit board, and must have f'd it up.  the disc loads and i even made 
sure the little switch closes to indicate the tray is closed, but the 
disc still won't spin up!

i know, i know: i'm an old fart and nobody plays CDs anymore.  i get it. 
but as the sample goes on the old CD i'm listening to atm, "i can't 
control my heart."  anyway, i'm not serious enough about this to invest 
BIG money in Serato and new digital hardware.  i don't even have a 
suitable laptop, lol.  (and if i spend that big a chunk of my life 
savings on audio gear, it'll be on additional oscillators and other toys 
for the Dotcom that a friend and i co-own.)

i looked on Ebay, but no dice.  i'll continue to keep an eye out there, 
but I remembered many of you are old farts, too!  so, i thought i'd ask 
if you have the same Denon model.  maybe yours is broken, too, but you'd 
let go of the parts?  or maybe you know where else I should look for 
obsolete DJ equipment.

thanks for reading and please n-joy the day!

cheers,
phase
