Replacement optical pickup lens assembly designed for VAM1204 / CDM1204 / VAM12.4 / CDM12.4 player mechanisms. Restores disc reading and playback in compatible CD players and CD changer units by replacing a worn, scratched, or failed lens bloc head. Key benefits Restores functionality: replaces a faulty optical pickup lens to bring back reliable CD reading and stable playback. Directfit compatibility: designed specifically for VAM1204, CDM1204, VAM12.4 and CDM12.4 mechanisms for an accurate fit and proper alignment. Costeffective : extends the life of your player or changer without the expense of a full replacement unit. Compact bloc head design: integrates the lens and holder into a single unit for straightforward installation and consistent performance. What this part does Reads the laser reflection from CDs and converts the signal for the drive electronics. Replaces the entire lens head (optical pickup bloc) so alignment and focus functions are restored to factory behavior in compatible mechanisms. Key attributes Functionality: Optical pickup / lens head for disc reading and laser focusing in VAM12.4/CDM12.4 family players. Compatibility: VAM1204, CDM1204, VAM12.4, CDM12.4 player mechanisms (confirm your mechanism model before ). Form factor: Bloc head assembly sized to fit the specified VAM/CDM12.4 mechanisms for dropin replacement. Performance: Restores original read/seek performance when installed correctly; suitable for repairing degraded or nonreading CD mechanisms. Installation and use Intended as a replacement part for technicians or experienced DIYers familiar with player disassembly. Typically replaces the existing lens bloc head without modification when installed in a matching mechanism. Ensure power is disconnected and follow your device service manual or guide for safe removal and installation. Use cases a home CD player that skips, fails to read discs, or reports 'no disc' errors by replacing its worn optical pickup lens. Restore a car CD changer using a VAM12.4/CDM12.4 mechanism to working condition after lens failure. Service vintage or professional audio equipment that uses the VAM/CDM12.4 optical pickup bloc head to avoid full unit replacement. Notes and recommendations Confirm your player's mechanism model (VAM1204, CDM1204, VAM12.4, CDM12.4) before ordering to ensure compatibility. If you are not comfortable with electronic repairs, consider professional installation to avoid damage to the mechanism or electronics. Replacement of the optical pickup lens addresses lens and pickup failures; additional drive or electronic issues may require further diagnosis. This optical pickup lens assembly is a practical component for devices using the VAM12.4 / CDM12.4 family of mechanisms, offering a focused solution to restore reliable disc reading and playback.
