Can transport in Philips SACD 1000 be replaced?

Do you KNOW of any shop in the US that will replace the transport in a Philips SACD 1000 and with what and for how much?

There are a lot of units with faulty transports which have been upgraded for use with EMM LABS gear.

It would be great to find someone who can salvage a bad situation.

I followed your leads to Aplhifi and learned that he has been "fixing" the mace chip problem for over a year. I await his prices.

More to follow.

Thank you.

I have also sent him an email, I am curious what he can do. I heard from over at AA that he will not touch Emm labs modified units, lets see if there is any truth to that.

Bill--didn't you say you were looking for a good doorstop? I think we've both found it.

Alex is advising that he will repair what he has in house but is not taking on additional SACD-1000 units for repairs. Alx has a forum board over at Audiocircle...

The more I hear about Phillips and the pervasive problems with the SACD 1000 units the more I'm surprised there is not a class action law suit holding them accountable for selling time bombs to consumers.
