AR8000 repair?

[wnjl]

I have a non-functional AR8000 scanner which I believe is inoperative due to a broken battery compartment. Does anyone know of a place or person that would do a repair for this unit (obviously well past any type of warranty date)?

Thanks.

I've had repairs done on my AOR 8000 in california from AOR themselves.
I would give them a call as it's been a few years since i've used them
and i'm not sure of there status,they did do a good job of repairing my unit ,twice though.

Are you talking about one of the battery springs came out? If so i just called AOR for mine and they no longer have parts. Let me know what happen with it.

I agree...Call AOR. They fixed my AR1000 (Yes.. ONE thousand) about 2 years ago. Did it fast too.

What kind of repair did they do and what was the cost?

I just sent off a 8200 for a broken display. Emailed me back the same day they got the unit $123 and 2 weeks wait time. They had to get the part shipped from Japan.

I never did get one yrs ago when I got the radio , now I'm wandering if they are still avalable , also software ?

Ive always spoken with Taka at AOR US snd best service I've ever had.
He fixed a misaligned wobbly tuning knob my AOR 5000a+3 buy whe it came back I was stiill unhappy with so much play in the knob. i called, he was very nice about it and the next day I had a brand new 5000. He alo recalibrated my AR8200mkiii whichbwas overloading badly in AM broadcast.
Hes a senior engineer snd i call with questjons somtimes. He explains well and seems happy to help.
Hope the AR8000 is fixed for you now. I loved mine.
