I still work on some cd players, just not the ones where too many key parts are no longer available..

Naim have a fixed fee of £199.00 plus shipping. If for any reason it cannot be repaired it will be replaced with an equivalent unit.

Some Project turntables have a built in phono stage, which model do you have ?

I still repair and service lots of Linn. Have a pile of Lingos and Klouts etc to work on this week. Kairn has two major issues with age, original brilliant power supply failure, changing all the electrolytics will cure around 30%, rest are a pain to fix. Back up battery failure, can leak over...

This is the correct part https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/cartridge-fuses/5412969/

I guess I have fixed around 60 of them !! Linn changed the brand and value of some of the caps in later versions which certainly helps with reliability.

Ah, I see what you mean now.... Usual failures for the Classik are blown output stages, more than likely down to speakers cables being short circuited and failed electrolytics. The original Classik-T however has some very strange known faults and can be a right PITA to fix..

The output stage of a Classik is nothing like the output stage of an LK-100.. Are you thinking of an LK-140 ?

The transistor has to be insulated, you need a thermal pad and a bush, see Farnell part 520214 to give you an idea..
