Hi, i have a nakamichi oms-2 with a possible bad laser pickup head (kss-123a). Does anyone know if a kss-152a will work on an oms-2? I don't have a service manual for a oms-2 and from what I read on the internet that the oms-20 is almost identical to the oms-2. But the specs for the laser pickup head are different models and the kss-123a is hard to come by. So has anyone had any experience/success replacing the kss-123a on a oms-2 with a kss-152a laser pickup? Or will it not work at all?

They are not compatible. You should stick to the original PU. Its not Sonys finest PU ie KSS150 or 210. These players are finicky to align and rarely play CDRs, unless they're authored and finalized as 74 min Redbook CDs. Even then it may not play it. Standard aluminum CDs are OK if not too scratched up.
