[QUOTE="Spooney, post: 7142961, member: 584130"] Due to the ****** economy a lot of these parts are very hard if not impossible to find right now. Even very common parts that just 6 months ago were easy to find are getting wiped out. Semiconductor manufacturers scaled back production quite a bit when things got bad but the market never got as bad as they anticipated and now the demand is higher than the number of parts they can produce in many cases because they cut back so much. I wouldn't doubt that mike is having a very hard time sourcing parts as I have been running into that myself on the handful of repairs i've been doing and most of the time he won't know what he needs to fix your amp until it gets disassembled. Also many times its necessary to remove parts from the circuit to properly troubleshoot a problem. It may not be as easy as him just boxing your amp back up and shipping it back to you if he already has it apart and missing several of the parts. [/QUOTE]
