Iv got a mate that works at vikery sound they fix all types of stuff he can normally help me out especially if i have a sample of the busted one its more of making do with these things as parts are impossible but they are quite basic. Im no pro or even trained iv just fixed some tape and 8 tracks a few times in the past. I can just have a look and see if i can do it. I don't know if there will be any places that will want to touch it and they will charge a fair bit id say. And i work for beer. Ev
