I want to have a few on hand as replacements but I'm having trouble finding them. So far there's one on NewEgg but the reviews on it are discouraging.

Yes, that one. 25% one egg rating. Too risky for me.

Pretty sure I have the same one, the front bezel tends to pop out sometimes but otherwise no issues with it

I would defnately go for a used (or new if available) Mitsumi or Sony (or Teac if available) from ebay.

Unlike any other parts, this is only old hardware that I can almost always find locally, and by the kilo.. 🤣 (generally for about 3-6 USD each)
