Samsung SOH DR4 Replacement

[mihai]

Hi!

Does anyone know of a compatible replacement for the Samsumg SOH DR4 laser pickup? It is used in the Samsung DVD-HR753 recorder, and in my case it started to read less and less discs, not to mention that for this reason I cannot finalize some old discs anymore.

Unfortunately, I can only find the entire DVD unit in my area (as opposed to just the laser pickup), and at prohibitive prices - i.e. almost the price of the entire recorder.

Here's a link to a store, but way too far from my location (different country etc.).

Thanks in advance,
-Mihai

Or maybe someone knows about a laser pickup compatibility list?

Thanks,
