Sanyo SFP1 vs SF90 compatibility?

[Mike P]

I need to replace a tired Sanyo SFP1 6/6 laser but I can't find one anywhere.

Some vendors seem to be suggesting that the SF90 is cross compatible. Can anyone here confirm?

Hi Mike, did you ever get an answer to this ? I have the same problem and would hate to throw my Roksan CD player away.

I eventually bought a direct replacement from China on ebay and it turned out to be OK.

I'm afraid I never got a definitive answer.

Donberg appear to list to sfp1 as 13 pin and the sf90 as 6/6. Maybe worth asking them?
