Thanks for all the responses.
At this point I think I will compare my Levinson No.37 to having a crazy, hot girlfriend. The transport is really attractive to me. In fact when placed on top of the 360S ... downright sexy BUT it's unpredictable and at least in this case, unreliable. I am on the verge of selling off all my Levinson gear (Yes, there is more) except for the 23.5 and 360S. I have a local tech (very good) who will completely recap the 23.5 for me. He will use upgraded caps where it makes sense and I should be able to baby the 23.5 for at least another 10 years. The 360S I will run until it dies and then bury it in the back yard.
I should be able to get $500-600 for the transport as-is and someone who is more adventurous than I can have a rebuilt unit from Pyramid for $1200-1500. To be honest ... I might just get the Oppo Blu Ray and continue using my computer as my main source. I'll save my pennies and look at a Modwright KWA-150 or a Pass Labs 250.5 to replace the 23.5. I'll keep the 23.5 as a backup. It was the first "really good" piece of equipment I ever bought and just like the Nikon F3 I have sitting next to my digital SLR - I cant part with it for sentimental reasons ... well, that and I am getting to old to lift it.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
