@mysearcher257 , any update on your end?
On my end, United Radio still has my CDP. At first they told me that they could not fix it because they could not get the parts. Then I called Marantz who said that they did have the parts. Then I spent another week or two trying to get United Radio to confirm whether or not it could be fixed.
They called last Friday, 11/11/16 and said that it could be fixed for $275 + return shipping. I gave them the green light. Then United Radio called me back again tonight to tell me that it can be fixed, and tried to charge me again. Once I told them I paid last Friday, they did acknowledge that it was received, but not entered correctly. I asked about a time frame, they could not answer that.
I have to say that I am a bit nervous. They are nice enough sounding people, but their competency level concerns me.
