Depends... I used to be in the repair business, but its just not economical
now with all the cheap crap which is churned out these days

If it cost less than Ł100 and is past its manuf. guarantee period - chuck it
and buy another one! A repair shop's gonna want Ł30 - Ł40 to do it - and
you'll only get a 3 month warranty.

If you want to hack it yourself, then yeah, belts clutches etc. Clean
EVERYTHING up and regrease sparingly!

Ah yes, Studio Sound. I dealt with these folks a number of years ago, got a

power supply rebuild kit for a Magnavox unit that's in the bedroom and still
going strong. I took a look around but didn't find anything that seemed
specific to what I've got going on here.

I tried to order some parts from them. They never sent my part, and have

ignored repeated inquiries. I never checked my c.c. bill to see if they
charged me for them, but I never got them either.

Says they're under new ownership, the original link works just fine, I just
ordered yesterday and got an email confirmation that my order has processed
and shipped.
