The part number is KSS100A and suits several Sony models.

Thanks! And is there any chance they
might work in some of Sony's 5-CD
carousel players, from the early to
mid-1990s? I have two such machines
that refuse to read a couple of my CDs,
or, if they have tracks extending all the
way out to the edge, the player won't
play the final 2-3 tracks. I have already
tried lubricating the sled tracks, but to
little avail.
They use a totally different laser assembly. A KSS140 I believe. We
were constantly replacing these and the harness that went to the laser
assembly was often bad. Did not like these. The Yamahas from this
time period were very reliable.
