Saturn Lens Replacement?

[JanLazer]

Greetings all,

Curious as to how difficult it would be to replace the lens in a Saturn? I'm getting a free one from a friend, but he was saying that the lens is fer-buggered. Curious as to where one could snag a lens as well.

Thanks!

I can't speak for a replacement part to purchase new, but a broken Saturn may be a good place to look. Try eBay for one that doesn't power on or something (motherboard, power problems), and salvage the whole CD mechanism.

Saturn lasers:

Sega Saturn
rev.1 (oval buttons): JVC EMW10447, which is physically the same as the OPTIMA6. JVC OPTIMA150S could be used as a sustitute.
rev.2A, 2B (round buttons): JVC OPTIMA6, JVC OPTIMA6S. JVC OPTIMA150S could be a sustitute
Sanyo trapboard rev.: Sanyo SF-P101-15P, Sanyo SF-P101N-15P

I ordered a couple from Electronix in Ohio online. They were $19 US plus $10shipping. Mine is a model 2 (with the round buttons) and I took it out to put in a JVC X'Eye so I know the rest of the Saturn is working. I'll let you know if it works out.
