DIY Counterpoint SA12 Repair...does it make sense to spend the $$?

Thanks for the advice. Any online parts vendors you'd recommend... folks that would know something about the amp and the parts I need...?

Haven't looked it up but I believe Michael Elliot has had some health issues a few years back and not in business anymore. If you don't have a local tech to put it on the bench to make sure there isn't any additional damage I'd look for one first before buying a lot of parts. See if you can find any former dealerships around that maybe have a tech on staff. I actually own a SA12 but haven't used it in sometime, but it still works. Not sure where you are located but Audio Labs in Des Moines, IA. was a dealer during the entire history of Counterpoint and they have a tech, Bob, on staff that's been there for 40 years and knows his stuff. Might be worth a call. He knows SA12 and I'm pretty sure still has service manuals for vintage gear they used to sale. Bob can probably help you with where to find parts too.

I no longer live stateside... Hopefully I can reach out to Audio Labs if I run into trouble getting parts locally. Much thanks for the advice!! I'll definitely give them a call.
