Some of you might be interested how that player is built, so here are some pics.

Very nice, but I think that laser looks horibly like the Sony BU-1E that I had in a Onkyo Grand Integra DX-G10, very nice laser but impossible to get a new one anywhere on this planet. I managed a second hand one after months of searching that saved my butt, or the customers Onkyo was going to end up being a very expensive 40kg paper weight, I hope for your sake Peter if it's yours you never need to get a replacement laser assembly.

Actually, it would be a good idea to find a spare laser, I have to check about the availability.
The transport itself is very good, can't think about anything that could improve the performance, that means no mods for now ;) |

So what is the brand of the laser lens? Is it Sony? Looks like some older Sanyo. Thanks for sharing the pictures Peter :)

Thanks,
The original CEC pickup may be indeed from Sanyo as there are couple of Sanyo chips inside. |

| CEC was owned (still is ?) by Sanyo, so that would make sense. |
