Subject: Looking for a replacement volume control pot!


Hello Adrian,


I am sorry to say we do not send out any parts to anyone but authorised
distributors for Cyrus. All we can do for you is book in the unit for a
fixed price service. The cost will be £178 + shipping of £18.80

No Christmas cards for them ...


They're unlikely to be the only ones to use this pot so worth doing a
search. They also might not be allowed to pull this trick in other
countries - if they sell there.

hence the trend of items to be labelled "No user serviceable parts inside"

Often parts exist in a form that allows them to be used on assembly lines.
The name badge owner may not have access to 'spares' as they bought a
sub-assembly - ie a circuit board.
