Sony CDM-14-5BD20

[rameish]

According to the service manual of my CD player, the CD Mech is a
Sony CDM-14-5BD20. Does anyone have any idea about where I can get a spare?
Yes I do know that Sony mechs usually come with a KSM prefix. But this one is CDM-14-5BD20. It could be a different name for a KSM mech. If so, which KSM mech is it?

Thanking you in advance.

Rameish,

Perhaps we can help you if you give us the Sony type number of the player.

Netlist,

It's a Rotel RCD-991AE CD player.

This CD Mech/Loader is also used by Arcam.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I did some phone calls without succeeding.
Others might come up with something, could you take a picture?

Hi, in the well known CD-DAC list Rotel RCD-991 is listed with KSS-213B sony mechanism. It seems to be supported by an other post I found.

HTGuide Forum - Rotel RCD 991 AE
HTGuide Forum - RCD-991AE vs. RCD-991

However, I did not find anything why KSS-213B is called differently if, identical to
CDM-14L.
Hope it helps!

The KSS213 is the laser assy as used in the Sony CDM14-BD25 which was the OEM offering from SONY that Arcam, Musical Fidelity, TALK Electronics etc used - If you are trying to replace the laser ( because it is worn out then the laser assy has it's replacement number on a label on it - KSS***) - The BD20 was not a variant that I am aware of though I doubt it was significantly different to the BD25 - hope this helps
