Hi.

Has anybody got any idea what make of laser unit this is?

I have no idea where I got it from, it's just one of those things I seem to have had forever.

Thanks,
Si.

This optical pick up I have never seen before.
Google provides no Results about the number as keyword "41A5Z060281".

Is it in use by a compact disc player or by a laser disc player (LD Laserdisc)?
And in which model?

Hi.

I've had a think about it since I posted the question, and all I can think of is "videologic" ? or something like that.

Now I know the obvious is to say it's a laser disc player etc. but it was a cd player, I'm almost certain of it.

I remember buying it as a cd player, and it only had a single cd type loader.

I cannot remember anything else about it, other than it was black and midi sized.

I've had a look on the net. and can't find anything that relates to a possible player, though there are players from a company called videologic.

Maybe I'll give them a shout.

I'll let you know if I find out anything off them.

Hi.

Thanks for the info and the links.

Although it was not the laser, it gave me enough information to narrow things down a bit, and I came up with this;

Onkyo DX-150 zum Leben erwecken ., Hifi-Klassiker - HIFI-FORUM

The laser itself is not visible, but there is enough of the casing etc. to positively identify it as a Toshiba TAOHS-MR.

I was hoping it would be something rare and sought after, but at least it's rare.

I've only heard of two players to use it, and I can't even remember the one I had.

I appreciate your help though, without it I doubt I would have looked at those types of laser.



Thanks
