Musical Fidelity Trivista 300


Dear Audiogoners,

I have purchased the above amp from Audio5.1 in Alberta, Canada, when the unit arrived, the volume knob and shaft was bent. We believe that the shipping company must have jotsled it quite a bit in order for the knob to come off. Anyhow, the only service center I can find is in North Carolina. And I live in New Jersey. Is there anybody out there that knows a shop in the New Jersey or New York area that can do the repair. I was told that a new volume control console have to be replaced. Thank you for your responses in advance.

sdais:   I did take my tri-vista to parts connexsion  in Burlington Ontario  and they "cleaned" the input selector and that seemed to make things better for about a year or two.  Now  it is back to  having a mind of its own and  clicking out  CD  while I am  listening. 
Here we are in 2020 and I still have my tri-vista 300. I have had it serviced a few times ,new tubes and even had upgrades done. The one issue that can't be fixed is the input selector.  I think mine as a mind of it own. It switches inputs on it own or won't even "click" into  the proper input.
As it ages over the next several years and as it deteriorates ,I'm afraid all I will be left with is a large paper weight with no value.
