I found what looks to be the same assembly as mine on ebay

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/170696204492?... 4.m1423.l2649

Do you think it would work without much adjusting ? Everything looks fixed
except
for 2 little round things on the side of the pickup that might be pots,
except
I dont see a screwdriver slot. Looking at your diagram I cant spot any
adjustments

for only about $10 it might be worth trying

I used the Hitachi pickup as a general example that illustrates the
point that there are two laser diodes in a DVD player. I have no idea
what kind of pickup is actually used in your unit.

BTW, it's "Franc", originally pronounced as in Franz, but pronounced
as "Frank" when anglicised. And Frances is a female name -- Francis is
male. :-)
