Hi Andi,

New equipment usually fails because the design engineer didn't take into consideration all situations where it could be used and then the parts procurement department always tend to go for the cheapest components that fit the specification.  Then when standard condition are missed - used at full power in a very hot environment small components tend to stop working.

To start looking for replacement parts for your unit you would need to know who the OEM was of each component and their part number.  Once you know that you go to Radio Spares (RS), Farnell or other major component suppliers depending on where you live and have a business account.  If we have time next week I will ask my parts girl to see if she can find out anything but, please, don't hold your breath. ;)

These are from Alps but could not be delivered from any channel I know :( I even know the part numbers as I do have the service manual. Best offer I got was for the volume control for a horrible price but without a new input selector it's not of much use.

ivan:
And there you see the problems.  Most components can be obtained if you are prepared to pay the minimum/quantity price.  In many ways we get round that by ordering a wide range of components from the OEM but in some cases we have to say 'sorry, no can do'.   

guzzi:
Or go through a distributor. Doesn't work foe specially made parts though. www.mouser.com has a lot of Alps items, but no doubt you have already checked them out.
