Onkyo TX-8255 noisy volume control
Hi,
Unfortunately the volume control tends to be noisy when changing the volume. I've been in contact with Onkyo and they said that they have the part in stock but aren't able to sell to me directly. They said that a service center would be able to order the part. So the part they said I need is:
"We do have that part 5104334Y, it is priced at $12.20." (part# R641 from schematic)
I've tried several sources to try and buy this but none will sell to me directly. I don't know why. It's a relatively easy repair and souldn't need a service repair facility to get fixed -- I'm perfectly capable.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can purchase this part?
Thanks
Is this a good question?
