and Arc generated inventory number. How many times I have to say this until it reaches your brain ?
Yes, you can get the components from ARC (at the price of course) but they won't tell you what the types they are if you would like to buy them in Mouser or any other parts supply if ARC has a stock of them and they are not obsolete.
It is a good company and service dept is helpful as well, and I won't say a bad word of them but they do practice the hiding of critical components designations behind the factory color code system.
I am for the right of repair law but it has to be constructed the way which won't hurt small specialists companies which struggle to survive as is.
You're free to repair you Samsung flat screen TV ...Also it would be nice to have a service manual for obsolete 30 years old CD player not supported by the manufacturer who keeps the documnentation locked anyway.PS. Suddenly it struck me that you probably can't tell resistor from transistor and capacitor and burned fingers taught you to recognize a vacuum tube. You're excused
