Pioneer PD-Z83M - Laser problem ?

[Turnip]

Hi Folks,

Have one of these old timers in where the disc spins and the laser squeaks but doesn't read the discs. Have a feeling, as the screws were loose, cust has twiddled all the pots, as had another in a week ago, and a lens clean did the biz.

ChasHyde does a replacement laser assy at £144.30 plus the usuals.

Guess it's a bin job. Chap on line had reset all the pots, as folks had to in those days, but no success whatever.

Don't suspect I'll fire up the scope - Chris.
