Should I Repair a Plinius 8150 ?

Have an 8150 which I purchased in 1999. Has worked flawlessly until recently.
The capacitors need replacement and the source switch needs some work. The unit is perfect cosmetically. The cost from a very respected and Plinius recommended tech in the US is $750 ( +60 to 70 for shipping )

My concern is how long will it last after repair. My field is not electronics.
My alternative would be to sell it as is and find another alternative.

thx for your help--I just joined

A real shame it died because the 8150 has some nice reviews out there, warm and musical if memory serves me right.

I would not spend $800.00 + to get it fixed however.

If you could find one used (a long shot) it would be a little over $1000.00 I bet.

Maybe you could shop around for another tech like Nick Gowan from True Sound, maybe he could help.

My two cents...

good luck
