Sony SCD777ES laser assembly repair

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!

That's unfortunate :/

Like a the previous poster said, there are some options and if you eBay KHS-180A there will be a used and a new version for $180 and $350 respectively (yes, very pricey).

There is also another thread on audiogon with some good info

and a DIY approach on diyaudio forum. If you google "Sony 777ES laser" it will be in the top two results.

I've been looking to get an SCD-777ES but they are still quite pricey and the more research I have done the more worried I became about it's laser.

I think the player is awesome, and the engineering is amazing and I would love to have one.

I am even considering buying one that has a laser issue and trying to repair it myself. Anyone? hehe

Would you be so kind to provide instructions for the replacement of laser head for SCD-1?

Thank you
