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?

Oh Yes, mine is 303-100 . Yours being 303-300 is having different drive . You have been very lucky to locate a DVD player with same part for replacement giving a new lease of life to your otherwise very good CD player .
I had the 303/100 years ago & it never gave me a bit of trouble & really liked it, enjoy!
Pehare-

which brand(s) of DVD players uses this drive?
Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
The 303/300 uses the drive out of this as per Timrhu....

"The Apex AD-3201 is the model that uses the DSL-710A drive."

not sure about the 303/100 player...
