I think the replacement value is dropping so fat with the Technology, that by the time we get the unit for repair, the price of the parts are more then replacement. We have all been there, and now....more and more. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 5:22 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Yamaha CDR(S1000) CD laser assbly.(V4836800) With DVD recorders supposed to be selling for $199.00 US by Christmas, repairing this Yamaha for well over $1000 would definitely not be worth it. I found out recently that the picture tube for my 1992 Panasonic GAOO 27" TV was over $1400 Canadian--from Panasonic. Apparently they were going to go back to the factory and build me a new one!

So now my question is I get the part # for the part that I need V4836800 (CDR MECH UNITE) and do you believe the cost for it is $1,127.25. maybe They are so crazy and do not want us to fix their unit. Becouse I think the complete unite do not cost that kind of money. what do you think please let me know. it is a cd/writer not DVD. Thank. Jose R. Paniagua.
