Thanks for the advice guys.

Mosth3r: I suspect such a repair is an extremely specialist operation.

I suspect you're right Moth3r.

Moth3r: You could try asking in alt.video.laserdisc, although it's been little quiet in there recently.

I don't have access to news groups at the moment, so I'm a bit stuffed there.

Silverwook: Isn't Kurtis in the USA? I'm in New Zealand, so the round trip cost of shipping the player to the USA and back for the repair might be a bit too much for my wallet. Damn shame I didn't win Lotto on the weekend :(
