Replacement motor for Sony DVD Player?

[Pete]

I have a Sony 315 DVD player that is probably still a current model,
but I believe the disk motor gave out. If you give it a nice spin by
hand, it spins right up to speed and plays great.

Does anyone know of a source that I could track down a suitable
replacement? I can grab all the specs off the motor, but wasn't sure
where I could track the item down...or if one could be retrofitted
from a different model player, etc...

Sounds like it is just dirty and dust or lint has accumulated around

the shaft. Clean with a dry stiff brush and compressed air. If
visible pick out the lint. Do not use solvents or lubricants.

I can supply you wit your hard to find numbers. I salvage those CD
roms that are not sold or display models. Motors are like new.
I sell single item at reasonable costs.

I dissassemble these motors and clean their rotary contacts. A black conductive dust accumulates between rotor contacts and shorts them. Another common sympthom is jerky playback after a while, the short causes increased current draw that overheats the motor driver IC, then the IC thermal protecion disables all outputs for a while so video playback halts for some seconds while the controller tries to refocus and retrack.
