Hi Folks,
I tried this on the Electronics and Parts forum but haven't had any response so I'm giving it another shot here!
I'm looking for a supplier (ideally UK) for the Philips CDM12.4/05 CD mechanism and tray loader. I think the tray loader is the L1210/05 but that could be the whole lot. These were used in the Micromega Stage CD players and well need I say any more but yes mine's faulty! I have tried greasing it by the way.
Cheers,
Jon

Hi JB,
Thanks for your post. I've found a number of companies that sell the CDM12.4 mechanism for around £20/30EUR, from the description they appear to be new parts although not necessarily genuine Philips so thanks for the warning if they are all refurbished junk. The only source I have found for the complete mechanism with loader is in China and although the price is good ($10) they have a minimum order of 1000 units.
Cheers,
Jon

last weekend I have get 6 pieces CDM12.4 "Made In Japan" for 75 Euros/pc from a german guy in top quality version (provided from Marantz Service 12 years ago).
In the attachment you will find a pic from the package.
Unfortunately, I've already used up all the pickup's for CD Player with muddy heads (older models from Thule and Primare). All cd players now works fine.
This means, that the japanese made versions are clearly better than the versions "Made in China".
Who knows the name of this japanese manufacturer?
If I know this address, I will ask there for a larger amount of this laser head with mechanism.
In this case go also to this threads:

P.S.
about

I am still looking to the name of this manufacturer.
In the meantime I get CDM12.4 laser heads again.
The devices from Malaysia and Taiwan work also fine in all respects.
Thus I am also looking to that name of manufacturers.
But all CDM12.4 heads "Made in China" (10 pcs) I had to complain cause too low power output.
I must send back all 10 pcs.
None of the wholesalers who buy in the Far East is apparently able to find out, in which factories the parts are manufactured.
Why we have this situation?
Is it because none of the buyers speaks the Chinese language?

Who has overtaken resp. purchase the stock of daisy's cdm12.4 devices? - go to
DAISy : CD optical pick-up unit (CD)
Here are a supplier of CDM12.4 and VAE1250 head (optical pickup) in an expensive version, discover by chance.
Optical Pick-up Units (OPUs) | Enco Systems
Maybe NOS devices from Philips, made in Japan, no cheap China copies in bad quality.
Are there any experiences?
