Laser replacement CD-7 Marantz

[D.A.R.R.Y.L.]

Hi all,
I want to have a spare laser assembly for my Marantz CD-7.
I have checked the transport which is a vam 1252/00 for signs of laser coding/labelling. I need to remove the laser for the partnumber to become visable. Maybe one of you knows which laser resides in the VAM1252/00.

I can order a spare VAM1252/00, but it will set me back a whopping 350 euro's. I know a guy in Germany that sells spare laser assemblies.
A spare unit will only cost 50 euro.

Thanks.
Greeting, Ramon

Usually Phillips lasers come part of the traverse deck!

So you get the spindle motor too.
