replacement drive for Rega Apollo

Anyone know what the correct drive is for the Rega apollo? I can find ones from china that look the same, but looks can be deceiving.

Just the laser is harder. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=Sanyo+SF-P101N&_sacat=0 Cheers George

I tried this a couple years ago and it didn’t work because the round holder that holds the CD in place did not have the snap down pins. Some of these don’t, and some do. And this is an easy repair if it works. But you need the correct version, and the correct pin count version.
