That's the problem I have all I can find is the 4/11 pin ones. Can you convert an 11 pin one into a 12 pin pickup,or take the guts out of the new 11 pin one and put it in the old 12 pin optical pickup laser

Hi, Thanks for your reply on what most people are doing now. Never a better reason than ever to get rid of your working 7903 decks while they still work,and you can get money for them. I'm still interested ,and always have cash in hand ready for you.Thanks

Surely, there must still be people here with these 7903 decks and parts, that want to make some good money for them.

Hi, Thanks for contacting me. I am the guy on ebay that has contacted you this week about the sf-87 laser,and you are in the process right now of looking for one of these SF-87 optical pick up lasers with 4 pins on the one ribbon end and 12 pins on the other end of the ribbon. The one you are...

Hi, I am looking for people that either have these 7903 decks, and if deck doesn't work mabe the cd transport that loads and ejects the cd still works in it. I would take that as well,or if you have SF-87 optical pickup lasers for them If correct laser it should have 4 pins on one end of...

Hi, I'm contacting you back about your reply to my post about you may have a optical pickup laser for an alpine 7903. I see you may have other older alpine stuff as well. Do you have any full working alpine 7903 decks or the cd transport from 7903 decks as well. I would work with you on a price...

I know this is an old thread,But it doesn't say closed or sold ,So I thought I'd check it to see if the alpine 7903 is sold yet.Thanks

When I put in a cd in the older 7909 and 7903 and 79 series decks in general ,the cd needs a little nudge at the end of loading to fully get it to load,What needs to be done to fix this. Also, I have one cd player that the cd wants to load, and goes in, but won't drop down to get into the play...

Surely there must be some old school alpine experts still on these forums. I would think this info would be found in the service manual that some of you old school techs have still kicking around.

Hi, I know the alpine 7909 optical pickup number is kss-163A. What is the number for the alpine 7903 optical laser pickup, Also mabe there are other model number of optical pickups that will work as well. Any info on all the optical pickups that will work in these alpine 7903 head units. Thanks

Thanks for the extra updated information on what I should be looking for and what I should be testing. I also see 2 settings on the actual circuit board that on my home cd player, when I turned them a little to the left or right made a difference in the cd player tracking to the song quicker,and...

Hi, You have a lot of knowledge on this ,So thanks for sharing this with me. I like the idea of hooking it up indoors as well. This will save me a lot of time in the testing process,and testing it out when the tweak has been done. Wold still like a new laser for this unit or a good used one if...

Thanks for your speedy reply, and your wealth of knowledge, I have none of the circuit value or even the voltage value. I was just going to put it all on the line, and turn it a very tiny small bit with the cd player having no power to it, and then reinstall it and see if the tiny...

Hi, My cd laser on my alpine 7903 cd player is on its way out,and just spitting out the disks, I can only get one original disk to play but it skips terribly bad. I am wanting to turn up the potentiometer a very tiny smidge say 15% turn to see if this will get the player to start accepting the...

Louisiana_crx thanks for chiming in. Is it new or used. Also when will you be back from Houston. Also to other people reading this post. I am looking for more than one laser, So feel free to post here if you have them as well. Thanks
