Meridian 207 CD player - replacement laser

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I have a Meridian 207 CD player/pre-amp which has a faulty laser. It
has been back to Meridian who cannot repair it as they can no longer
supply a laser ( the machine is late 80's). Anyone know which transport
is used in this machine and where I may find either a replacement laser
or transport. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please email me on
memu51@dsl.pipex.com
