RE: Sony KSS-213Q laserhead

Posted by PAR on December 30, 2016 at 16:12:51:
It may help you find the component if you search with the usual description of " Optical Pickup Unit" not Laserhead.

Replacing an OPU is not straightforward if you don't already possess the necessary skills. There are handling precautions that need to be observed such as control of static electricity and some OPUs are not just straight install and go but require calibration (tracking) adjustments which, in turn, require a special test disc. If you don't know how to access the original unit in the first place you may want to consider whether or not this is this a project for you.
