sourcing a CDM1 laser....

[honsten]

Hello all, nice to be back from a very, very long break...(education).
Does any-one here know where I can find a laser for a CDM1 transport. its in a marantz cd80 which still works fine but im just thinking ahead.
P.S. im preferably looking for NOS ones.

HI

I have a CDM1MK2 used in CD880J.Ithink your CD80 is CDM1MK2 too.Don't worry about this.They have a long life.😀

They have a long life

But check lasercurrent: too high is not beneficial. See service manual for right value.

YES

lasercurrent is very important for us to make sure the Laser is good or not.

CD80

you nend to have a check you servo board under the laser.as i know CD80 may use TDA8808T and TDA8809T.
if that is true.then have a look at the photo.in the right side,17pin,18pin are from TDA8808T.find out the resistance which is 12E connets to LO(11-9) ,output to the laser in the left side.the photo is from CD850.but they are the same.when CDP is playing,try to got the voltage of that resistance.you know I=V/R.
then you will get the current.if current is less than 60MA,that your laser is good.

good luck and to be careful😀
