Service for Sony CD Players

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I wonder if anyone might know "reputable" service companies that are willing
to work on Sony "ES" CD players that are older than seven years, since the
Sony Corporation claims that they do not keep parts for longer than seven
years.

Thank you very much.

Yes, they actually refused to service it, even though they had me send it to
them, by assuring me that they had all the necessary parts. They even
quoted me a flat fee of $216.

Why it does not read a few very new CDs I do not know.
