Glad to help. Note that it's the repair parts number, i.e. not the repair number. When I've been able to obtain Sony parts they have been reasonably priced (e.g. a couple of bucks for a switch for my stereo). The issue is usually if they sell the part you want separately as opposed only as part of a larger assembly (e.g. the whole "printed wiring board" for $200 instead of one IC).

Good luck! And +1 on the "parts donor" idea JSW posted, if you can't get the individual bit.
