Help wit my EAD T 1000 Transport!


My EAD T-1000 transport is having trouble reading discs. It feeds a Wadia 26 dac.  Does anyone know where I can get serviced in Chicago area, I understand parts are hard to come by, It has a Pioneer stable platter. Or am I better off finding something on the used market with newer technology?

I use Midwest Audio in Arlington Heights.  I last was there in mid 2020 and it took months to get my item fixed because they were so backed up as people had rediscovered their systems during lockdown
