Peter, I was Hitachi warranty in Nevada when those sets came out and the micro was the most common fix. Poor grounding and very static sensistive. I've read that they're still available, but spendy. The last one I changed 4 or 5 years ago, was 54.00. Micro aside, it's still a very well designed unit and probably still looks great if you get it going. Terry H.
