Recommended Dealer for Casio DAT Repair

[paulrichard10@adelphia.net]

Hi, all:

I have a Casio DAT recorder than, when new, cost me around $1200. It was a 
nice unit for its time. I recently applied power to the unit and almost 
immediately, I smelled something getting VERY hot. I pulled the plug 
before the damn thing caught fire. 

I don't know if this DAT recorder is worth having repaired or not. I 
suspect it would cost at least $100 USD for a repair and probably more 
than that. Does anyone have similar experiences they can share regarding 
the repair of such items? Thanks!
