Any dealers in North America for CD player lasers?

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

After some sleuthing around, I have figured out that the laser in my NAD C542 is on its last legs.

I have decided that it can't hurt to try my hand at replacing the laser. Since it uses a SONY KSS-213C, I did the initial Google-hunt and came up with various vendors from far across the sea, with prices ranging from what I would expect to pay for it and either end of the extremes (one price is $5, while another is over $50!).

Are there any vendors here in the United States (or Canada) that cary such an item? Google, Ebay and most of the 'Net are full of Chinese sellers that I would rather not deal with...

TIA,
