Where to fix Forsell Air Reference Transport and D/A

The transport unit keep giving reading error message and on/off of D/A unit no longer works.  I contacted Dr.Forsell himself but his staff told me they no longer support the product.  Any suggestion?  I suspect for the transport a swap for the optical drive will do but it could be hard to find the old Philip drive.

Hey justubes2 - It will ssometimes read the index but takes long time as if the reading optical head is trying really hard to scan.  But when I hit play it will give me "reading err".  I am going to give it a shot for Elliot's shop and hopefully they still support this unit.  Thanks for your offer!

That's good,  as the control board is working and spinning. 

If there are noises of the airbearing while reading,  it would likely be the alignment issue giving trouble. 

I should have the adjustment instructions that came with the drive unit i got from them if it can help. 

Cheers
