Does anyone have any experience with going through Panasonic (or, if such a thing exists, Panasonic-authorized repair shop) as opposed to a specialty turntable repair place? Not to say either place Tom mentioned is a bad idea; I've always been impressed by the customer service at KAB. I would assume with the ubiquity of SL-1200s, a closely related Technics product might enjoy reasonable service from many shops. Can anyone confirm yay or nay? (stepping back for a second for those unaware, Technics is a part of Panasonic) Thanks, Jim another SP-15 user At 09:25 AM 2/20/2009, you wrote: >Hi Lou: > >No probs.
