Most spares will be available in some shape or form yes, the more specific parts like IC's/power transformer etc may not be, but are unlikely to have failed & (in the case of the transformer) could be repaired if faulty. Agree those speakers are likely to let the side down, they look a little Amstrad-esque but certainly won't give you the best this little music centre has to offer.

If you travel close to Congleton at all I'd be happy to plug it in here & have a quick judge of whether the heat is anything to worry about or not, and possibly be able to offer a repair if needed too.

Cheers, Dan.
