Hi all, just a quick post regarding the Philips vam 1205.
I recently tried to obtain one of these for a naim cd 5. They are, as has probably been discussed many times ,out of production.
The only units I could find were refurbished ones which are expensive and required the old unit exchanged as part of sale.
Chinese sellers on eBay are selling the vam1206. This unit is compatible with the cd 5 in place of the 1205. I now have a working cd 5 again. There are also sellers with the laser block.
I understand that the risk is non original or copy parts however I have ordered several lasers from different sellers over the last month and they all work fine.
