Todays ce is not made to be repaired you recycle and replace.

work for keep spares 10 years after the product have been superceded by
a new one and sales have ceased, but

AFAIK it is the expensive VFD displays that are the issue for the TP,

While the display is nice, having a broken display is no reason to throw

Of course, if you really want a display, the one from a salvaged SB1/g,

evaluation three years ago.

That's right, I have slaughtered a sb3 and the display built into the

I can see not supplying parts for a relatively inexpensive SB3/Classic
that's out of warranty, but I'm rather taken aback that Logitech
wouldn't support a $2,000 piece of equipment. The Transporter hasn't
been out the market all that long. It's not like one is looking for a
