JVC "EXU-901a" (KRELL KPS-25sc Phase Tech CT-1 CT1) better than VAM1254, CDpro2LF ?

JVC cd mechanism "EXU-901a" (KRELL KPS-25sc Phase Tech CT-1 (CT1) - better than VAM1254 (CD-pro2M + CDpro2LF) ?

Who know more about the JVC cd transport mechanism "EXU901a" (EXU901 EXU-901).
I don't find datasheets, information about optical pick up (laser unit) and order sources for spare parts so as the complete JVC device.

Thank you very much for this advices and the additional models that use the EXU-901A. Do you know about a delivery source and the costs as replacement part?
 
Hi all,
Anyone know if the new JVC PRO mechanics have the same laser head?
Thanks!
Rubén
The laser head (optical pickup) of the mechanism "EXU-901A" is the "Optima 4S", also used
in the JVC cd player model "XL-V311BK" (XL-V311, XLV311).
Here a photo URL:

What is the type number (model number) of the new JVC PRO mechanics you ask ??

Data sheet and distributor address of "EXU-901A" from JVC still wanted.
