This Buy It Now sale is for a genuine, newly produced TEAC VRDS Laser sled gear with Lifetime Guarantee. (Real product, real quality!)

This is a quality replacement item direct from the manufacturer, pressure injection moulded, using the correct materials, to the correct specification!  

This is NOT some inferior Chinese knock off -of questionable quality, or a home made 3D printed effort / or a metal "long life" equivalent offering that destroys the softer plastic gear it is meshed with...

This is the genuine gear you need to repair your expensive high quality Wadia \Copland etc CD player.

( it has been noted that photos from this advert, that are my property / are currently being used by Chinese websites that offer a poor imitation of this item..!)

The laser requires precise, smooth movement & the CD players which this gear fits are valuable items (at least they are when working correctly)  -fit the best to keep it that way !

-There are two gears known to yellow with age, then crumble & crack on various Teac VRDS players -This sale is for a new gear to replace the one that is responsible for driving the laser sled back & forth.

..If you require the gear responsible for the opening and closing of the CD loading tray, or if you require BOTH Tray & Laser gears together ..

please CLICK HERE to see those adverts.

Photos of the VRDS drive below are purely to show the fitting position. The photos show the inside a TEAC VRDS T-1 that I fixed using one of these gears ...the result, one perfectly running laser mechanism. These gears fit exactly as they should, running smoothly & quietly. I have fitted a number of these over the years and they always perform perfectly - as also echoed by those who have purchased them:

This genuine TEAC gear is brand new, original & unused, the plastic used to manufacture these gears has been improved over those that were made 20 years ago, so they will no longer become brittle & crumble like those that now need replacing. 



This gear is used in these machines :

• Copland 277

• Copland 288

• TEAC VRDS-7

• TEAC VRDS-T1

• WADIA 21

• WADIA 850 (Version "a" mech)

• Krell KAV-300

Photos of the VRDS drive below are purely to show the fitting position.

The photos show a Teac VRDS T1 player that I fitted one of these laser gears to (it was in need of both tray gear & laser gear) 

As you can see from the photos below, this laser gear is underneath a black cover, it is the middle one of three gears, located between the small motor pinion gear & another gear to its other side, that is then meshed with the straight laser rack. If the original laser gear is still fitted, it will have yellowed with age as shown & has probably crumbled & failed, or is about to.
