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.

From the Stereophile review ...

The Apollo's transport, manufactured by Sanyo, is compliantly suspended from the upper portion of Rega's standard chassis of cast aluminum alloy. The D/A converter is Wolfson's top-of-the-line WM8740, a dual-differential chip that operates in sigma-delta mode and supports word lengths of up to 24 bits. The output section, which is said to apply class-A amplification to a digital source component in an entirely new way, is Rega's own design.

The following person/ organization is the authorized repair person in the US.  He replaced the laser assembly on my Rega Apollo for about $250 or so two years ago.
