CEC TL5100Z -- repair or replace?

Probably would be wise to spend some time at least investigating repair, CEC's have a good reputation as transports with sound their quality. Dunno for sure, but my go-to guy, Wayne, at In-House Service Co. will likely be able to fix it provided he thinks it's repairable - 631-751-1803 10-5pm EST, Mon-Fri, Setauket, NY - www.stereorepair.net. These guys are very hifi-oriented and work on everything, including vintage, rare, expensive, tube, ss and all manner of digital and IME they have proven to be very trustworthy. They even do mods. There may be other places others know about too, but IMO talking directly with Wayne would be a good starting point.

Thanks, Ivan. I will contact Wayne. David

Nick Gowan at True Sound also works on these.

I second Nick Gowan, I've used him for repair and he is very good.

Steven Sank worked on my CEC TL-2 transport and did a marvelous job. Info here:

Thanks for your additional suggestions. Looks like I will have some options.
