I must replace laser head´s i my Studer cd players , which have CDM4 pro (or 4/36) cd mehnanisms.
I can´t find the whole orginal mech , so i will buy some diferent version of CDM4 and just change the laser head unit with swing arm.
So my question is, are the laser units of CDM4/11 , 4/19 and 4/25 the same like one in CDM 4/36?
Visually they are but maybe some other diffrences are involved.
Thank´s for your help.
And yust one question for all of you here. Did someone buy some CDM-3 cd mehnanism from man who sell them here on Diyaudio , are they new? I am yust carefull becouse they are not cheap , I need one piece for old Studer A730.

I replaced a 4/36 with a 4/19 head (marantz cd10). That worked and fixed the problem 😀 Maybe the lenses are different (glass/plastic). Finding a cheap 4/19 player should be easy (at least here) to try it out.
As for the cdm3, i'm in the oposit corner: have a cdm3 (nos, not bought via diya) and looking for a player..🙂 (sorry, not selling)

Guido , you will probably find cd player with broken CDM3 before i will find new mechanism.
I am pretty mad couse Philips did not continue to produce CDM 1-9. They were the best mech. ever produced by any brand , exept Teac (VRDS).
I have five players at home and all of them use pro versions of Philips "swing arm" transports.
Rotel RCD990 - CDM9pro
Studer D731- CDM4pro (three)
Studer A730 - CDM3

Hi, I need the plastic tray of Studer D730 because mine is broken, can anyone help me to find the spare part for mine? Thanks.
I attach some picture for more details:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Today I have replace successful the laser unit from CDM-4/25 (Micromega SOLO). I get the replacement from an used CDM-4/11. Only a small mechanical difference I note in the spring plate fastening (spring plate for the bearing ball):I must replace laser head´s i my Studer cd players , which have CDM4 pro (or 4/36) cd mechanisms.
I can´t find the whole original mechanism, so i will buy some different version of CDM4 and just change the laser head unit with swing arm.
So my question is, are the laser units of CDM4/11 , 4/19 and 4/25 the same like one in CDM 4/36?
Visually they are but maybe some other differences are involved.
Thank´s for your help.
The openings near the screw holes were rectangular instead of round.
Another difference was the foil- (flex-)cable (connection to the laser unit) glued to the carrier plate of CDM-4/19, which was very difficult to detach without damaging one of the connections.
But what about replacing of this laser unit against a professional version (laser unit from CDM-4/36, CDM-4/53, CDM-1/MKII or CDM-4/IND resp. CDM-4 INDUSTRIAL) ??
