Fix drawer mechanism on Denon 1560

Has anyone had experience replacing the belt on the drawer mechanism of the Denon 1560 cd players. This was purchased around 1990 and I plan on using it in my bedroom system. It opens, but the drawer must be pushed by hand to close. I have read that these drawers have this problem, but that the rest of the unit is built like a tank. I am interested in where I can purchase a replacement belt and how to fix this problem. Any information would be great.

1990? no way can you buy parts.
I would just live with it, or open it up to see what that belt looked like and fins a sutible substitute.
The cost for a repair shop 'just to look' is more than the player is worth.

On another thought, if the machine can open the drawer, then it is far more likely that a switch is broken, or bent out of position, than a belt. my $0.02

It would be my assumption, that Denon didn't make a new Transport Mechanism every year, and probably spit out the same stuff for years on end. Somebody here must know where Denon parts can be gotten! They probably used the same Belt for 10 years.

I suspect like many other mechanisms, this part (Belt) is a common part, looking like many others, which resembles a small black rubber band. A $5 item at most
