Speak for yourself.
I have never had recalls on the older ones and I have to do most in the homes 
as they are usually
consoles.....take that back, I had one recall for a different problem.
If you call repairing bad solder connections 'shotgunning' then yes, I do a lot 
if shotgunning.

Walter,
No such thing as luck. Either you have the talent and expertesize to repair
it or you don't. I have seen that a lot hear, I call it shotgunning, not
troubleshooting.

Walter,
I have fixed many of the older sets, with luck.
I would go for it...just touch up the solder when you're done with it.

I don't yet know the problem with this set, and am
looking for advice about even trying.
I think it would be a waste of time and money, but
the customer is adamant about repairing it.
WinStips indicates that it is similar to a Pioneer
SD-P401.
There aren't many case histories on either.
Question is, Would any of you even try on this
set??
Thanks
Walter
