Thanks Julien for responding so promptly- you’d think that someone enterprising would take up the aftermarket notwithstanding Pioneer’s act of heinous vandalism - I know it is a relatively small user base but still much more significant than any of the manufacturers could have anticipated… I’m not giving up on this - even if I have to cannibalise a parts player - mine will LIVE AGAIN

Find someone who has a parts player or get another one working and save this for parts. This is how I remember as well. S2/X1/X0 parts were never really available for the two decades. Look for a donor player. It may not turn up immediately but I am sure it will eventually.

parts LD pickup assembly for an LD-X1 now secured (seller assures me it is fully functional - it had better be at the eye watering price extracted for it ) and will be winging its way across to the UK from Asia. Watch this space...
