Hello, sort of new in here so i hope im posting in the right place / the right way 
I found this great Sony Discman, model D-555 at a thrift store. I was mainly attracted by the look, but later learned it was a sort of Holy Grail of portable disc players.
There were no accessories with it, so i had to buy the 9V DC on Amazon. Everything seemed to work fine, except... hum... it doesent play. I took it to the repair shop and they told me the laser is dead.
They are willing to fix it if i can find the laser part.
They told me the model was KSS 220.
I found the service manual and it mentions the «DEVICE OPTICAL» is KSS 167B.
Google said there were equivalents to KSS 220, but overall im feeling a little lost. If any of you feel generous with knowledge or leads on where to get this part, i would be very grateful
