It may be a hard fact to accept and I don't write this to irritate, but
as someone mentioned in another forum or list: With neither cash nor
ability to fix something - better stick with new gear.
I'm fortunate enough to have had patience to learn basic electronics to
solve smaller problems myself. When out of skills and/or knowledge I
have a good friend who loves digging into old gear.
I'm not saying the SDS-9 isn't a pain to repair, many digital things
are. But if you plan on a life with ancient electronic instruments you
have the mentioned choices, pay someone or do it yourself 'cause the
gear won't survive forever.
BTW - I think many of us europeans prefer if Michael stays here! ;)
