Q: I am looking for information on a Bose radio disc player. It is a highly-rated Bose item that is no longer produced, but it is a fabulous piece of equipment. When it is operating correctly, it is like walking into a concert hall. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that it’s absolutely fabulous. I just inherited one and, unfortunately, I think it has outlived its useful age unless we can get some repairs for it. I’m wondering if you can possibly give me any leads on this. I’ve tried but didn’t get any satisfaction. If you’ve got any information you think might help, I certainly would appreciate it. I’m approaching 100 years old pretty soon, and I intend to get this repaired somehow, if possible, and then even pass it on to my grandchildren. I think it is that good of a piece of equipment. So I’d appreciate any help or any information you could give me. Thank you. — Donald Sapit, Stone Mountain
A: I spoke with Benny Amina, who owns Modular Electronics, 11205 Alpharetta Highway, Roswell, 770-410-1122. He said there’s a 50/50 chance that he could repair your Bose unit, depending on the available parts needed. Amina charges a $100 diagnostic fee, which goes toward the repair tab. The expert team at Modular Electronics works on various contemporary and older equipment and also manufactures amplifiers, speakers, and home theater components.
