I'm having the same problem with my SA-14. It stopped reading discs and no replacement part (If it's the laser mech) is available. It's been under my bed for well over a year and I'm sick about it. It was easily my best sounding cd player as it was also modded by Tube Research labs.

Photon, so am I pretty much bleeped? I can't stand the the thought of tossing something that cost me over a grand and also has about 700 bucks of top mods. I'll call the Service Wide place mentioned above and see what they say before throwing in the towel. I must add that some guy in Hong Kong who advertises on ebay says he has laser replacement mechanisms made by Sharp that fit all the Marantz players. He wants about a 100 bucks and cash only, I have yet too bite, something does not feel right about it.

Photon, thanks for the advice. Yea I just can't pull the trigger on the ebay deal. Paul at Tube Research Labs has done lots of mods on Marantz Sa players and claims they are built like tanks and has never seen a laser mech go out. Sounds contradictory but.. I'll take the next steps and keep in touch. Thanks.
