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
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

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. |
fsmithjack OP Much easier to replace the whole transport/laser than just the laser. 4 screws, a push on power plug and push on ribbon connector. I’m fairly sure it uses the old DSL-710A laser/mech complete, which are cheap to buy new still under $100, take the top off yours and see if it’s like this https://ibb.co/hDCkRw9 If you can use a screwdriver your almost there, should take 30-45mins, maybe 1hr if your slow.

Thanks George - yes that would be great. Can you help me figure out what to get? So there is a guy on eBay that has this: NEW OPTICAL LASER LENS PICKUP for PIONEER DV-333 / DV-3300 $43.65 Is this what you mean? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OPTICAL-LASER-LENS-PICKUP-for-PIONEER-DV-333-DV-3300/361837354266 |
