Paraduse, about 15 years or so ago the most popular Technics forum was hosted by Technics Music Canada. They were a division of Great West Music in Canada. That forum eventually was closed and some of us moved to Synthzone while others moved to Technote in England. Eventually the whole group moved to Synthzone. There was a fellow named Serge at Technics Music Canada with extensive knowledge of Technics products. I can't remember his last name. If Great West Music still exists, you may be able to find someone there that can steer you to a service facility in Canada.
