RE: Replacement for Sony 213Q laserhead

Posted by Jonesy on December 19, 2016 at 08:10:48:
"Intermittent noise" like "skipping?" May not be the laser head. You could try cleaning it. Also test it's tracking capabilities with a simple triangle of masking tape on the data side. Narrow end near spindle. See when it starts to mis-track.

Otherwise, your intermittent noise may be caused by the tubes, sockets and or pins needing a clean. Also your CDP model is prone to bad solder joints.

Don't know of any laser head assembly upgrades.

Good luck!
