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

Yes I was surprised. There are a ton of them out there and it’s wasn’t hard. One if the benefits of their use a standard pioneer transport mechanism.

 I wonder why Ayre doesn't know this? More interested in selling you a new one than fixing your old one?

I know. When Charles was alive (R.I.P.) we talked over his undersight for not stocking more of those Pioneer transport mechanism(s). His thought was that the Pioneer supply chain would not diminish. It would be cool of AYRE to design/manufacture their own drive/transport mechanism.
I do love my DX-5 though.

Happy Listening!
