KSM213CCM sony cd mechanism KSM213CDM KSS213C KSS213
KSM213CCM CD mechanism assembly with KSS213C Laser and Motors
This is a complete CD mechanism suitable for replacement in many Sony and Aiwa models. This is a genuine Sony part, the laser is stamped with the Sony logo. This mechanism will also fit into many other brands of CD players and HiFi's as many manufacturers use the KSS213C laser as the optical pick up in their mechanisms. This mechanism is also compatible with the KSM213CDM which is fitted to some models.
If you have a CD player or HiFi with a defective KSS213C laser then you can replace this entire mechanism, this will provide an extremely effective repair as all the moving parts in the CD reading mechanism get replaced.
This mechanism includes the following:
* KSS213C Laser / Optical Pick Assembly / Genuine Sony Part
If the mechanism in your machine is different though uses a KSS213C then you can easily remove the laser from this mechanism and fit into your unit.
The laser unit can be used to replace other KSS213 types such as the KSS213F, the only difference being the F version has a plastic dust shutter. The KSS213B can also be directly replaced with the KSS213C.
This mechanism is excellent value as purchase of all the parts separately would cost you more than 30.00!!
This item is used in our own workshop for repairs and we are making it available for those who wish to repair their own CD player. Only to be purchased by those competent in the repair of electrical equipment. The fitting of this part is generally quite easy. If you are not confident about changing the whole mechanism then it is perfectly acceptable to remove the laser as previously mentioned for fitting into your unit. There is only one important point to note. The laser as supplied new has a solder link in place to protect the it from static electricity damage. You need to remove this small link with a soldering iron or sharp knife. This is shown in the last picture of this listing. It is to the left of the connector on the laser.
In some cases the flexible connection strip can fail and we do recommend that you consider replacement of this item. The flexible strip is the 16 way flat cable which carries the signals and power to and from the laser assembly. Since the laser is constantly moving backwards and forwards the internal wires can snap in this connection strip. In the components section in our shop we have this item available for only 1.99, there is no postage on this item if purchased in addition to the CD mechanism.
Postage and packing on this item is 1.99. Item sent using Royal Mail for delivery 1 - 2 working days after purchase. This item can be sent worldwide. Please see the additional postage rates below. postage rates below.
