Sony SCD777ES laser assembly repair

Apparently my beloved Sony SCD777ES needs a new laser assembly. I found a new at twice the cost of the original price from Sony when available. Supply and demand is a bi*ch when you're desperate. Anyhow. My question is - has anyone with a Sony SCD-1 or 777ES ever replaced their lasers with success? I've read something about alignment headaches. Etc.

Have replaced a few in AudioAero Capitale SACD players - pretty straight forward once I figured out how to do it.

Sony KHS180A Laser

Above a link to a new one, pretty pricy but shipping form Germany

And heres a used one, I find the wording in the ad funny - When you find it is faulty - in place of - if :-) however he has sold a few of them

Used Sony Laser Pickup

Best of Luck

Time to move on, junk the 777. Repairs, if they work, are just too expensive. Sony typically charges about %400 to make the change. Best to consider a new Oppo.

Xjrdriver-

lucky for you there is a plethora of intel on the web about this player. Additionally, phone Sony's repair facility in Laredo TX, ask for Adrian.

Happy listening!
