Anyway, the CDU-541 has a street price of ~$416, so buy a new one. Ask at any serious/quality high-fi repair shop about non-Sony shops getting parts at fair prices, or maybe you saw the piece on tv a week ago about what some Japanese companies do more than others... If folks woke up maybe Sony and friends would get the message when noone bought things that are not intended to be repaired at reasonable prices. Sony's name doesn't have the same ring to my ears it used to.
