Guest Arthur Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Greetings to one and all! Just a quick question to our expert panel here about my ageing TL 51 transport. The issue: Lately, it has started 'skipping' and goes on repeat mode (A - B ) on discs that play perfectly in other players. It also 'freezes' when I try to access another track on the disc, and I am talking about brand new discs. The question: Does anyone know if the laser/ transport installed in this player is still available? And, if yes, where can one buy it from. I am not sure if this particular subject has been discussed before here, a brief search on my behalf didn't reveal anything so, I would appreciate any information you guys care to provide. Best regards to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Katz Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Arthur, it’s most probably the laser. My cec tl1 started playing up and then it stopped reading and playing cds.I bought one from eBay, for my cec-TL1. The sellers name is supercooleszeugs, he’s based in Germany. Google and see which one you need. I’m not familiar with the tl51. On my tl1, they had different lasers, with the same model, they had a different pin configuration.Go and figure!Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arthur Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Thank you so much Bill! That's valuable information indeed! The TL51 is ( I understand..) different from the TL1 and the TL 51X. They're all belt driven, however as you say, the pin configuration and, in some of them, the mounting method is also different. I will contact the seller you've suggested and seek more info from them. Thanks for your kind response! ATB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewp Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hello there A friend of miner recently was looking for a Marantz laser and got one through Allie Express . They have trillions and za-billions of items. You may find what you need there if the other leads prove fruitless. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Andrew, the search for replacement laser/transport mechanisms has become a bit of an issue the last few years, as manufacturers - such as Philips - have stopped making certain models due to lack of sales. If all else fails I will most certainly take your advice and look at Allie Express. They may have what I need! Thanks again my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockeater Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 CEC uses Sanyo lasers. They are cheap and there are plenty of them everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
