Practically of the Sony's in that era had the same problem with cold solder
joints. I remember I was out of warranty and they wanted me to deliver it to
a Sony repair shop about 75 miles away, pick it up in two weeks and charge
me 150 dollars. They would not own up to the fact it was a production error
and they claimed I was the only one complaining about it. I junked the set
and never bought another Sony product.
