CD Transport Repair

Does anyone know of a competent repair shop for CD transports?

I am currently having one repaired. I went through the manufacturer, who ultimately had me send it to a repair shop they designated. It has fallen into a black hole. Not having received an estimate after almost 2 months, I am getting close to insisting that they box it up and ship it back.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I may need future repairs.

Thank you for responding.

When loaded the disc just spun and was not read. It would not stop spinning unless the power was turned off.

I am not going to attempt to diagnose or repair this transport myself.

georgehifi - The transport is a Pro-ject CD Box RS. I have both the upgraded power supply (Power Box Uni 1-Way) and DC cable for it as well.

Thank you for the recommenation(s).  I prefer AES/EBU from transport to DAC and I have a decent AES cable.  Otherwise I would have tried the Audiolab.

And yes, I will certainly do a cost/benefit analysis in getting it repaired.  However, it is not a dinosaur.  As mentioned above (4/20/21), I have the upgraded linear power supply and DC cable as well.

And yes, at some point, if trying to get it fixed becomes onerous, I will give up the ghost.
