The Theta Data Basic II does not use a pioneer transport. It is a Philips CDM-9 Pro.
Rebuilt laser any good?
My Theta Data Basic II transport worked perfectly for 3.5 years after I got it but recently started skipping. The nice Theta guy says a laser rebuild runs about $400 and offers about 95% of the original performance. Search of the A-gon database shows others have already been here. Does anyone care to say how your repair results affected performance?
