Nad M3 non repairable


Hi, dumb question , my Nad M3 has a blown power board, and parts are unavailable and the shop says it's not worth fixing. The case is beautiful and I hate to throw it away. What else could I do with it besides make a lamp?

Maybe they're too big to care, but the business lost by bad publicity, especially when on a site like this that has worldwide readership, seems irreplaceable. Here's a little taleโ€ฆI bought a ProCo "Rat" guitar distortion box in around 1980, 10 years later sent it back for repair and they replaced the jacks and pots for free, and sent it back to me at their cost in a box filled with candy. 10 years or so later I sent it to them again, this time they sent it back with new pots, jacks, etc., all no charge, in a box filled with candy and a ProCo Rat T-shirt.
@tunaman,

send a pic of the M5 lamp when you have finished it!

Been telling folks for 40 years , NAD =Not always reliable .
Itโ€™s just a marketing firm , the factory that made it in China may well be out of business etc .
I love the ton of "factory refurbished " on here , did they send it back to China ?
For whatever reason their CD players are quite good though .
Perhaps a long relationship with one factory .
