I don't know if your estimate was correct, but it may be that the parts
are listed separately but are in fact one assembly which is replaced as
a whole.

When, about 8 months ago I had my Sony CDP-302 repaired for a laser
problem, it cost $235 to repair (it had only cost me $350 new...).
This was because they couldn't just replace the laser, they had to
replace the whole laser assembly.  This may be the problem in your case.
