I have a guy in Hollywood CA who has repaired 2 of my Simmons brains
for about $100.00. He doesnt even charge for a diagnosis (free
estimate of repair cost). He 's great and very reasonably priced and
has access to replacement parts.
E mail me (
cssappliance@...) and I can give you his name
address phone and e mail if you are interested.
good luck
Scooter
