Well... judging by the standards of the old PSX, a lens/motor plus labor will cost just about 80% of a whole PS2 at current market price.
I'm not sure though, since I haven't had to have my console repaired yet. But if I were you, have it estimated first. Checking is *usually* free, but the repair isn't. It's just a matter of getting a good service person to do it. Some technicians just immediate suggest the most beneficial solution for *them*, and not *you*.
Or... just it serviced in a Sony certified outfit, assuming the warranty is still in effect.
