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

fsmithjack OP yeah I'd like to know also?? |
Should I call Ayre to confirm or if you think this is it I will buy it. Such a good idea to replace the whole thing. I’m psyched!No, pop the top on it and have a look to see if it’s the same. If your not sure take pic of it and post it here using Image Hosting https://imgbb.com/ If it is the same, even if you have VERY BASIC mechanical/electrical ability, just do it yourself, it’s easy. Just don’t have a gorilla fist when doing up the screws again remember it’s just plastic. Do not buy just the laser, far harder to fit. Cheers George |
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.
