2) Is there still a vendor for the repair kits that Sony offered?

Part no. = X-3372-340-1
Desc. = kit mcb, flexible

I poked around the Sony site a bit: nothing. I'm assuming the kits are
long out of stock, but please do tell me if there's a vendor that still
stocks these.


www.partstore.com site supposedly has this part for $25.27 + shipping. See:

Never did business with them so don't know how good this company is.
