Rowland Model 5 Parts?


I am in the midst of a repair on a Rowland Research Model 5 power amp. The problem was that unit was operating on safety. (Power switch cutting out after 10 sec. or so.) The defective part - after extensive investigation - was found to be a pre-amp module serving one channel. Have spoken to Jeff Rowland and he claims that such is available and that he would get back to me. But no news in nearly a month. Anybody know where I can find one?

Stereo Exchange less-likely will be willing to sell a part. They worry too much about their wallet thickness.
Meanwhile I'd check input transistors of that faulty module one-by one and it's not too many maybe 2 or 4 depending on circuit design. Sometimes inspecting under the loupe will give you some visual on cracks, burns and part codes that not visible anymore compared to 'healthy' transistors.
There's plenty of info on how to check transistors operational condition, but I'd usually check for short(continuity between terminals) first, than do the diode one-way conductivity check.
