Any Bose Experts?

I had a cassete player (stereo equipment) that had a bunch of complex functions. When it started misbehaving, I took it to a repair shop. They tried twice, but didn't end up doing it any good. Generally the trend with modern equipment is to replace rather than repair, and that's probably what Bose will do if you submit it for repairs -- they'll replace it with a refurbed unit rather than repair the one you have. That has downsides as well, as refurbed units often aren't equivalent to new ones (I had a monitor that got 'repaired' by them sending me a refurb -- the refurb had discoloration along one edge of the screen.... grrr). Your choice of course, but maybe it's time for something new?
