Ayre DX-7 CD / DVD - Need laser head replaced - anyone know who I can pay to help me?

I have a very nice Ayre DX-7 transport that needs the laser pick up replaced. I need the part, I am told it’s an older Pioneer laser head. I need help finding the part and someone that can help me do work. Can anyone help or recommend someone? Thanks

Yes, the platter is a Pioneer 333 laser pick up and it is not made anymore. I was hoping someone may know someone that regularly replaces these or is more familiar with these? I think I can find a replacement part elsewhere and have Ayre install it but thought if there is someone that knows a tech that specializes in older laser changes might be easier and a better option. Thanks

Good luck with that one, you will have to start searching on the web and maybe, just maybe, you will find a shop with one in stock.   For the most part, when a CD player goes bad, it is time to buy a new one as servicing one is pretty much impossible due to obsolescence.  

Which reminds me of a movie I saw recently where the CIA used a VHS repair shop as a cover for operations.   Odds of someone coming in that place is pretty small these days.
