Re: [ARSCLIST] SP-15

[Jim Sam <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have any experience with going through Panasonic (or, if 
such a thing exists, Panasonic-authorized repair shop) as opposed to 
a specialty turntable repair place?  Not to say either place Tom 
mentioned is a bad idea; I've always been impressed by the customer 
service at KAB.  I would assume with the ubiquity of SL-1200s, a 
closely related Technics product might enjoy reasonable service from 
many shops.  Can anyone confirm yay or nay?

(stepping back for a second for those unaware, Technics is a part of Panasonic)

Thanks,
Jim
