I do have a schematic (thats not very accurate) and electronic skills so I could effect repairs if necessary but with an ever ageing unit continued reliability is not a strong point.

i am with you on the crossovers. Just opened mine up for a visual inspection and all looked good. The wonder caps etc were all solid. Having run my betas without the servo via the MEN220 for a while, I am now back to the servo unit. It gives me more flexibility to raise or lower the contour and bass level which I find useful. IRSBeta as much as said the same thing by using an external crossover and NHT volume controller for the low end. Lots to think about but I am as you say, letting it lay for now.
