I have just listed a DJ 130 carriage on ebay. It's brand new, comes with drive belt and trailing cable. There is one part that is missing that was removed to service another printer and that is the pastic cover that closes down to lock the printheads in place. So if your isn't broken this could be swapped over. Let me know if you are interested or make on offer on ebay. Regards David
