Wadia 830 laser impossible to source?


My beloved wadia 830 laser finally called it quits. This is the CMK-54Xt pioneer stable platter version. Anyone have any ideas where I should begin my search? This player sounds so good through my system as I’m using it for its preamp ability as well as a CD player. Thanks, Mark.

Either a CMK-54Xt or a PEA-1343.
You my find that one is the whole mech and the other is just the laser, that's how it works with other brands eg Sanyo.

How certain are you that it actually is a dead laser beam?

It’s 19 years old now, my bet’s on the laser, unless the OP's overlooked belts gears and such.
