Where to fix Forsell Air Reference Transport and D/A

The transport unit keep giving reading error message and on/off of D/A unit no longer works.  I contacted Dr.Forsell himself but his staff told me they no longer support the product.  Any suggestion?  I suspect for the transport a swap for the optical drive will do but it could be hard to find the old Philip drive.

I had similar problems with my Forsell transport years ago when I had it, and sent it to a dealer in California whose name escapes me now (I believe the owner was Elliott Midwood?) who gave it a good cleaning and adjustment, fixed it perfectly.  No idea if he still does that, though.  Back in 2005, I was advised that the tech for Forsell in the US was Joe Laliberte C/O Ensemble; 28 Charron Ave, #7; Nashua, NH 03063; tel: 603 595-9871, ext. 203.  All of these may be out of date at this point, but worth a try.

Thanks rcprince for the suggestion.  I got the response from Bengt Andersson from Foresell back in this January indicating Forsell no longer support my unit due to lack of part and availability of laser unit.  I will try Elliott Midwood.  Thanks again.

Sad- that these companies do not stand behind their products, especially, parts?

I know...  guess it's the reality for trying to keep an old unit.

It is a special transport.  I don't know how they did it, but it sounded more "analog" than any other transport I tried.

Wish I could remember Elliott's store, that would be more helpful to you.  I tried to find it in the archives but wasn't successful, maybe you'll have better luck.
