RE: Sony KSS-213Q laserhead

If you have a tech coming to service it then I wouldn't buy any of the OPUs discussed in this thread at this point. As you say, cleaning may fix it *

As the Tech is responsible for the fix then let him source the OPU. If he gets one that is incorrect in some way or misfunctions then that is then his problem , not yours. But get him to quote a price first.

* Although cleaning the laser collimation lens can work for disc misreads, my experience has been that unless the dirt on the lens is reasonably severe this is still a sign of a weakening laser diode and replacement will be required at some point subsequently. If the lens is "hidden" within the machine it is actually quite hard to contaminate it unless you are a smoking household or the player is sited where airborne contaminants can reach it e.g. near a kitchen producing smokey cooking.
