  A mile from me in Richboro PA is RHB Sound Dezign where they specialize in tube equipment and mods. They do beautiful work and Bob will spend time on the phone with you discussing your options.
  
  He brought my Counterpoint NPS400 back to life when I got it DOA and reasonably priced.

          I am the repair tech listed on the Alta Vista Website located in New Jersey. If you want to discuss your Counterpoint issue, contact me by sending me a message through this site or through the Alta Vista Audio Website. Provide your name and contact info and best time to call. I can repair any audio components including CDPs, upgrades, etc. I will also be launching a new preamp shortly followed up by a phono stage.
          
          Thanks,

      I am the person now listed on the Alta Vista Audio website for the east coast. If you want to ship your Counterpoint component to me in New Jersey, I can repair it. I just finished repairing and upgrading two SA-5000s.
      
      I repair pretty much any audio component, CDPs, DACs, preamps, amps, etc. Let me know what you need.
      
      I am also launching my own tube preamp that will be available shortly. Direct Heated Triode, transformer coupled with transformer volume control. Waiting on the final chassis right now and setting up a website.
      
      You can reach me by email at vujadeaudio@optimum.net.

  I am in the same boat as you. I purchased a SA-3000 with a blown power supply thinking I was going to have Alta Vista repair it. When I was concidering (bidding) on the SA-3000 I was investigating the Power supply replacement, I won the auction. A week later Alta Vista was out of business. I kind of wondered if the seller knew they were going out of business and wanted to dump it. I am in contact with Plitron Co. that makes the power supplies for this unit, getting pricing ect. They do not do any repair work though, they just supply power supplies.
  So thats at least two of us that need someone that can work on the SA-3000. They are a hybrid design so they are not easy to work on....

    I have the same problem: burnt poser supply transformer.
    When I contacted the Plitron, they require me to quote their product number. Do you know that ?
