Yup. I downloaded the service manual also and just a few minutes convinced me that this is not an easy task. Actually the player was stored for three years when we moved. So it is more like four years of limited use.
It is such a nicely made machine, it weighs a ton, the case is a complex affair with a copper bottom all in order to reduce vibration.
I don't think anything with this build quality is available today, not from Sony at least.
I hope the machine was just having some hiccups, as the thought of forking over $675 to have it repaired simply floors me.
I agree, going in there is not for the faint of heart, or at least not for a technically challenged person like me.
Well thanks for the help, and ain't Sony grand for spending all the money and effort on new technology that bests competing technologies quality-wise, but simply does not get enough sales and then is dropped or fades away.
Right now the machine is playing a Red Book CD of a Coleman Hawkins recording without any issues.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that it continues that way for a good while yet!
Thanks!
