The laser is a CDM12.1 or VAM1202. But the cheapest solution in the end may be to buy another entry-level player that matches your type inside. I bought a simple CD57 just for spare parts for my CD67's. If you have an error, swapping of mech/PCB or HF amp PCB under the mech quickly isolates it. You can exchange the ribbon or connectors over time as they get bad, and it's a great source for parts if you ever fry something 😀.
CD57/67/OSE/KI are all alike. CD43/53/63/SE/KI also.

Off topic I know; I got a Craig Detox/enhancer kit and treated everything in sight and a few that arn't. I haven't done this for years. Talk about black! The result is like cleaning a window. Subtle but very positive. Takes about an hour to do a small system properly. Well worth the 16 canadian dollars. Yeah totally off topic but hell I've got nothing to say except I'm tired of waiting for the breaking to be finished!
Hehe, but we can't dismiss the more useful tweakery. Have you used wooden or metal cone feet yet? Big upgrade.
Good question! I have some old brass cones I use but I've been meaning to get some ebony ones off e-bay. Good idea?
i tried uploading some pictures but either they were too big or I did something wrong because it didn't work. Oh well...
try hosting them on photobucket or similar. You could also resize them using something like prish resizer (use std large for forum pics). Thats what I tend to do 🙂
Mine, even if only a CD43 (yes it's a CD43, it's written on it!) I do enjoy, just enjoy: maybe we here all "only" do that? 😉
If only it were "only! But for the maddening itch that says "I got to change something soon". I'm a nut case. Ray and Brent transformed my ugle duckling into an almost swan. Instead of concentrating the swan, I nitpick and get stuck in the "almost" part...what if...etc; YUCK! it's a serious problem, years in the making. And just when I get it right, my hearing will fail!
I have no " fontaine de jouvance ", hélas ! Shepp you have to focus on musical joy, not how high are the highs... teenagers find them annoying ( used here to chase them from building stairs), how ironic!
I don't know about the rest of you, but it's seriously hot here in S. France. Even my Ice amp is warm! as the man said, focus on the music. When we're gone let it not be said we were obsessive maniacs, but true soundsmiths (or something like that). ((I don't think soundsmith translates into french M. but it's a very neat old english word.))
Same in the middle of France... I use to go to the blacksmith, as a Rogue in another life... sharp eyes with sharp blades... 😉
