Personally I think you should call and try to get your hands on anything that is still there. Maybe that drive would be repairable by us tinkerers, the one we have is not.
The drive is a 2X caddy type drive that has a 40 pin connector that EVENTUALLY became the standard for first generation IDE. This interface is a proprietary Sony interface that was used when CD drive/sound card kits were new for home computers. These kits many times had three CD drive interface connectors on the sound card; one Panasonic, one Mitsumi and one Sony. Just so happens GenRad chose that Sony interface drive for the PDU.
Here's a picture with the model number....... I thought I had one located about a year ago, it was on a UK company website. When I inquired, it was gone. Haven't found one since. I tried to contact Sony and ask for model numbers of any other drives that might have also used that interface. They slammed the door in my face, didn't want to help at all, didn't care.
Someone out there knows these answers, I'll find that person someday.
Cheers,

I searched ebay and found this:
Sony Internal CD-ROM CD caddy CDU535-88 | eBay
I'd wager it would work as a replacement...
