Thanks for this very helpful video! I got a 333 cheap off ebay as parts not working. I had the exact same experience that you did with the Chinese part. (Probably the same seller). Found it for sale for $35 and 999 in stock. Couple days after I ordered it, I get a message saying, "Part not in stock, pleased to cancel you order" or something to that effect. Thankfully, I was able to find the laser here in America, new old stock, so didn't have to deal with the extra expenses in buying from Germany. Went through your video several times for reference and was able to put the new laser on no problem. The laser disc player works good as new now (except for the door, I need to find a belt for that one day). I watched Predator on it to properly initiate it. Thanks so much!

Corey Hey that is awesome news. thanks for watching im glad your machine is up and running. I'm just curious who was the American seller for the optical pickup? I hope cheaper alternative compared to German seller. I wouldnt mind having spare part. thanks for watching :)

jpstyles85 Here is the link to the ebay listing. It's in Hawaii. Still about the same price for the item, but it allowed me to avoid the customs and shipping expenses, so that makes me happy. www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-ORIGINAL-SONY-KHS-130A-KHS130A-8-848-138-12-Laser-Head-for-LD-Player-/221740153106?hash=item33a0be3912

Just received one 533D and it have the same problems than yours. I hope cleaning the laser and putting grease will do the thing, 120€ for the laser unit is a lot of money, don’t know if it worth it. Thanks for the laser reference mate, from Spain have a great day!

Good luck with it. My machine still works. I tried it a few weeks ago. To be fair I have not used for about 5 years. Laser works well. The only thing is the poor quality rubber band broke. This reminds me I should track down a proper band. I had issues with the disc tray as the machine had a fault. The only way to play movies is by pulling the lid off. Please let me know how you go. Even upload.a short video. Good luck!

@@jpstyles85Well, the problem seems to be more serious: the laser don't makes any move, the door don't open even with a good shape rubber and on the LCD screen it shows Open or Close. Then on the TV screen it shows Side A CAV... Jesus Christ the unit is near dead! 😓 I can upload a video, tell me where. Anyway, thanks for reply and have a nice day.

Great work, man! You really have to be a Laserdisc lover to spend such this amount of euros! A good Sony DVD player would have cost less than half of all your investiment. Anyway I would be very happy to see it running perfectly again! Congrats!

ugh, that tray loading belt! My tray jumped a few teef and I had problem aligning those gears. service Manual Shows an alignment but that didnt work for me and didn't show HOW to load the tray. Kept on trying each combo, but what finally worked was turning those gears (aligned in Service Manual) a bit to engage the teefs and eventually found a spot that worked! once loading, don't frick with them. :L

Great video! Glad you were able to get it up and running again! I've got the North American version of that player and had the same issue with the tray not being able to push the door open. Replaced the belt a few times now over the years. Luckily, the laser's still working on mine, but now I know what I'm in for if I ever have to do a replacement! Thanks for sharing!
@jpstyles859 жыл бұрын
Culturedog thanks so much.... yeah you are right if you ever have to do the replacement. $$$. I asked the german seller on ebay. Sony do not manufacture the optical pick up no more. Back in 2008 they purchased all the left overs from Sony and also mentioned they have plenty of stock. interesting.

I had a loose loading belt so I put it in boiling water for a few seconds and added a small amount of lithium grease. That fixed it. This also worked in a Xbox drive loading belt..

Thanks for making this video. I have a Sony MDP-510 that is having issues with playing Laserdiscs but it seems to play one particular audio CD fine for a bit and then the audio starts to flutter after playing. Laserdiscs have distorted pic & audio and the Laserdisc spins down and stops. Trying to get it up and running to watch the three original Star Wars movies I bought on LD way back in '90.

Thank you for the video. I hope you can help me with a good advice. I have Sony MDP-650D Laserdisc player with some problem. The player doesn't spin the disc. After inserting the disc (no matter CD or LD), push 'PLAY', the laser moves, changes positions, but the disc still not moving/not spinning. On the display it does say 'DISC' if I insert LD and if I insert CD it does say 'NO DISC'. I believe that laser is bad, I need to replace it. But, still, why does the disc doesn't spin even if the laser is bad? I saw you playing Mickey LD, I admire the quality of the picture (sharp & clear). What kind of connection do you use with your TV? I have another Sony ES Laserdisc player with scart connection, I really do not like the quality, it's not sharp enough. I believe scart is not the best connector in combination of LD-player and TV. Would you advice me: www.miniinthebox.com/nl/5-voeten-hdmi-male-ingang-naar-3-rca-plug-video-audio-av-kabel-adapter-converter-connector-duurzaam-zwart-1-5m_p1272459.html?prm=2.2.1.0 or this connector: www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=9994 your comment will be very appreciated.

I have a sony laserdisc player (video looked great but did not play any sound) and a shop diagnosed it with the same problems yours had. (belt and laser too dim) Would you be interested in trying to fix it or adding it to your collection for parts? If none of the laserdisc collectors on youtube seem interested, I'll just sell it for parts but I'd like to give a dedicated enthusiast the chance first.

one thing . 95% of my LD movies are ntsc... most LD players here play both ntsc/ pal which is more to say then most other devices of the time. like region locked gaming systems. sega. nintendo ps1.

@3:32 ok... How did you know the Laser was "Bad" ? Just because it did not light up? Maybe the front panel read out indicated something that revealed it was bad? Probably both... I am guessing... But I see the NEW laser doing it's little dance, and maybe the "Bad" laser did not dance? IMHO
