new laser/assembly for Cary 303/300 cdp

The laser is going south on my CDP giving me a lot of "no disc" messages. Just wondering can the laser or laser assembly be sourced a lot cheaper anywhere else but Cary?

These seem to be the basis of their system: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-DSL-710A-Transport-AYRE-HARMAN-MERIDIAN-PRIMARE-/251988456520?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aabaeb448) (http://www.dvs.co.kr/project/english/product/710a.htm)

I've had a couple transports(someone else's) that wouldn't read a disc enough to use the cleaning disc, and resorted to the Q-Tip/alcohol method too.

More to discover
