new laser/assembly for Cary 303/300 cdp


The laser is going south on my CDP giving me a lot of "no disc" messages. Just wondering can the laser or laser assembly be sourced a lot cheaper anywhere else but Cary?

If this is the CD50 you're referring to, it was mine. I sold it for $350 about six months ago.
yes! that's it Tim - a very good sounding player I'm told & w/the built in analog volume control it's tempting.
Much Thanks! for the update- Pehare.
It is good to know that there are some guys still "modding"
cd/sacd players. Our hope is that they nor trade will never go away. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
Just replaced the laser drive again today, 2 hr job but I'm slow.  Last replacement was done in 2015.  Cary charged me $311 delivered for the laser drive in 2015.  This one I bought NOS on ebay from Taiwan for $75 delivered.  Back in business!  If anybody needs help let me know....Cary no longer does on the phone tech support.....receptionist said you have to email inquiries for tech help....WTF?

Much Thanks! for keeping your player and this post alive.
Happy Listening!
