Need some help for Wadia 850 cdp

It would be a no brainer for me. Make arrangements to drive it to Wadia since you are so close. They will fix it and make it perfect. And yes, they will work on all their older models.

Thank you. I was worried that they might not work on the older models. I will contact Wadia. Ill let you know what they say on monday. Thanks

I'd call before I drove over. Wadia has been in and out of business so many times it's scary. Also try and pin them down to a timeframe for the repair. My friend sent his 861SE for service and he didn't get it back for almost 4 months.

My money would be on Great Northern. Much faster turn-around.

Best,

Paul :-)

Beemer's statement "Wadia has been in and out of business so many times it's scary" is simply not true. Wadia recently moved their manufacturing facility from Ann Arbor to Saline and most of the "sensational" gossip concerning the company stemmed from understandable transition and reorganizing issues. They are healthy and in fact are coming out with two new state of the art players...check out the website. I sent in my Wadia and the repair turnaround was around three weeks. For me, the convenience and peace of mind to be able to personally deliver the player is a big plus. To remain objective however, Great Northern does excellent work and is highly regarded. You have a wonderful player and have some nice options to have it serviced. The gossip concerning Wadia is amazing and a good example of how the hyperbole on the forums can sometimes turn into a feeding frenzy irregardless of real fact. Wadia is alive and very well.
