Any repair shops you can suggest especially in CALIF. Seems Sony no

Thanks

What is the problem?


Most likely (the original post(s) have scrolled off my newserver) it's a
sort-of motorboating in the audio above a very low level. There are some
small cpacitors on one of the boards that fail and replacing them fixes
this.

I know because I have a sw1s with the same problem and replacement caps on
order. If the original poster is unable to do the repair himself I'll let
him know how I get on.
