optical sensor

With all the new companies building optis and the fact that the optical sensor is made by Mitsubishi and probably used in some model of there cars there has to be somewhere to buy a new optical sensor without buying a whole new opti. If anybody knows where I can get one that would be greatly appreciated.

I've also looked everywhere. I have 3 opti's with bad encode units. It would appear that they are not sold as individual pieces. B. (97SS 383 D1 M6)

Suposedly it's not that prone to failure but the problem is a 30 dollar part basically makes a 300-500 dollar part worthless.
