I'm trying to replace the optical pickup in a Bose CD wave radio, but I'm having trouble finding the correct part. It's labeled Sanyo SF-P100 and I've tried two SF-P100 pickups from two sources, but both have had a different electrical connector with a different number of pins. The one I need has 13 pins and the one I keep getting has 18 pins. The extra pins go to the photo diode array which also has more pins than the old pickup. On the second try I even asked the supplier if it had 13, or 18 pins and they assured me it had 13 pins. Does anyone know the pinout of the 18 pin version? Does anyone know where I can get the 13 pin version?
I know I could order it from Bose, but Bose wants around $80 for the entire optical deck. Just the pickup from other sources is only $10-$15. Andy Cuffe
