Can I replace/repair a Phillips SACD transport?

My Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD player (recently out of warrantee)will do longer function in SACD mode. The dealer who I originally bought it from says that the Phillips SACD transport is problematic and there is nothing that can be done to repair or replace the SACD transport. I have a faily extensive SACD library and hate to eliminate that cabacity to plyback that that format.

Does anyone know if the Phillips trasport be repaired or if a different SACD transport can be installed in the Tri-Vista?

Eldartford,
What a crackup. I have a Philips / Magnevox FD-1000 in the next room. It needs a laser head. And being a toploader, still otherwise works fine.
It was the 'core' of many early CD player mods for hi-end use. Couldn't afford the Mission at the time, but the Magnevox works fine.

I have a now-ancient Philips/Magnevox FD1000, the first CD player to be reviewed by Stereophile......
Can I still get a laser for it?

Also, What transport does my CA840 use?
