z' p/ O% J0 ? You returned our cassette player to us on 5th September, after having it in your shop for over a month, (sorry! Technician off sick) saying that you could not repair the following faults:3 ]3 w& j- I0 V3 Y
1. a problem with the volume control (needs replacing; part not available)

4 ~6 z/ p/ p) s2 p- t+ o I was very surprised to hear this, because the equipment is not all that old.(manufactured in 1985)5 G; ~: C/ \4 s2 H4 V( D
Therefore I would be grateful if you could explain in writing why the equipment is, in your opinion, beyond repair, so that I can discuss this matter with the manufacturers.(out of business since 1990)
