Hello, guys!
Is it possible to buy a new CD drive to build an audio CD player?

Check the Sanyo SFP 101N. These things can be had for about $5.00 on eBay, and CEC uses the laser pickup for their transports.

This is also the drive used in the JVC boombox/Shiga clone transports.

... and in high-end Denon CD players

Also used in the Cambridge 840C I had.

Hi there!

I've got the original type of laser unit from a JVC player which has the whole PCB stuck to the motors underside. The ones on Ebay are a type that have a small PCB between the motors. I suspect these ebay versions cant' be used with the old JVC boombox version? Or maybe using just the laser head?
