Best price for KHS-400R (playstation 2 laser lens unit)?

[Georgios Petasis]

Dear all,

Does anybody knows any online stores that sell
KHS-400R, the laser unit found in newer playstation 2 consoles?
(Preferably in europe).
The local price is around 55 euro. Can the unit be found at a lower price?

Thank you,

George

Did you try cleaning out the disc drive and optics of any dust with compressed
air and relubing key mechanical components on the pickup kicker mechanism
first? - Reinhart

Yes, I did

Yes, I did
Including thoroughly relubing the pickup kicker worm gear with a low viscosity
grease, such as molytone, and blowing compressed air directly into the pickup
for about ten seconds?

If so, and you are confident that the optical pickup is bad, then I don't know
what to say. There won't be cheaper sources for replacement pickups unless you
find a parts PS-2 with a good pickup. You may have to buy a replacement pickup
at the price you've found. - Reinhart
