Topic: Help! Sony 333ESR integrated amp beyond repair?

[vwbeetle]

a friend of mine gave me this amp. according to him he brought it to Sony Service Center but was informed that it cannot be repaired as there are no parts available for it.

Is that possible? If this can still be repaired can you please refer some people who can do it?

thanks.

what year is it?

maybe the parts are classified as obsolete in their parts list, but that doesn't mean there are no more parts available for that. However, most service centers donot use replacement parts not authorized by their mother company for use in such equipment and is therefore classified as unrepairable.

Yup, these authorized service centers are almost always very "bookish."  I have yet to encounter a power amp or an integrated that is too obsolete not to be reparable. There are always replacement parts for such gears.  I suggest you bring it to a Raon eletronics shop.

hay salamat sa inyo jojod at avphile at nabuhayan ako ng loob. para ngang mahirap maniwala na wala nang maipapalit na piyesa sa kung ano man ang nasira sa  amp na ito, kaya ako napatanong. nung sinabi kasi ito ng nagbigay sa akin ay dinala ko sa Quezon Ave. Sony at nung nakita pa lang (walang bukasan) ay sinabi na rin kaagad nila sa akin na di na daw magagawa at wala nang piyesa. napakabigat pa naman.

you can bring it to philsales in banawe if you're near that area, if you're coming from E.Rod its on your left, from Quezon Ave it'll be on your right just after the children's hospital. bring someone with you because parking is hell over there.

My goodness, kung sa ibang field nga nothing is impossible - yun lalaki nagiging babae and vice versa, sa electronics pa kaya? Sometimes those service centers can be a pain but don't despair, even if obsolete na mga power transistors niyan there will always be a replacement available for that. In defense of the service center, they may not be authorized to use replacement parts especially if the manufacturer does not approves it.

Most ss devices such as transistors become obsolete because better devices replace them in production.
