      Used to be able to get that sort of thing repaired - but those places have gone as well ...

      As one what worked in theatrical hire. Medium quality CD players were on the company hire stock. Costed into £33/wks. IF it lasted for a year the unit was bought paid for and in profit. Some managed three or four years before needing minor repairs.

       

      It's usually components that fail, capacitors and joints dry out. The mechanical bits go on for ever it's drive bands and the electronic bits that die.

       

      Little known fact most electronic items are powered by smoke.

    Dismantling layouts is not as much fun as building. Also how come you need 3 times the space for all the parts???

      Don't worry - we'll be getting old money back soon. At least it looks like the Bank of England is bringing back the threepenny bit.
