CDM-1 is more common, and you can salvage it from a dead Philips CD-player. There is a thread about CDM-0 and CDM-1 compatibility:

The connectors' pinouts, functions and voltages are the same, even the service manuals of CDM-0 and CDM-1 refer to each other, however I haven't got first-hand experience... Anybody?

1.Why do you need one? those Lasers never fail!!! If its not reading replace the 5 caps on the drive and you should be fine.

2. I have a CDM-1 that is a direct replacement with a CDM-0. Plug and play. Been saving it for an emergency. But would part with it for right price.
