First thing I need to do is set the record straight and eat humble pie!
I sent a stroppy message to Marantz via their web form on Friday. Today I received an email from Marantz product support D&M Audiovisaul Ltd stating that they did not receive my earlier message and have suggested that I might have had browser issues when I filled the web form in. This is quite likely as we are having internet issues at work at the moment. I have, for the record, apologised for casting aspersions! They have provided me with the name of their authorised parts supplier, as follows:
Charles Hyde and Sons
1 Halifax Way
Pocklington Industrial Estate
Pocklington
York
YO42 1NR
Tel: 01759 303068
Fax:01759 303620
Web site:
www.charleshyde.co.uk
I have phoned them and they can provide the drive belts (they have two in stock and will need to order the rest). Total price for a complete set of replacement drive belts, including VAT and postage, £22.30.
I did try the authorised repairer recommended by Shooter69 on Saturday and they were already looking into it for me but I might as well stick with Charles Hyde (I have let them know).
So all's well that ends well and lesson learnt ie stop being so demanding Craykie and accept that the internet can let us down from time to time!
