Where to find used parts?

[Old bones]

I am trying to repair a Sony CDP-CX350 (aka Mega Storage. The display is very faint. Parts for this model are no longer available new so I am looking for a broken one that still has a good display to cannibalise for parts. I specifically need the display board which contains the VFD and its driver components. There are a lot of these players for sale in the US in a non-working state for under $100 which I could probably justify but the cost of shipping and import fees to Europe come to two or three times that on top. I really need to find the individual board on its own to keep the cost down. Any ideas where to look? Getting used parts for cars is easy but used parts for old hifi is hopeless.

I would look on fleabay.

A good call Jon. I do watch ebay almost daily. I thought I had a chance last year. Someone in the states agreed to remove the part I wanted and send just that. Then no more contact. I guess he took the lid off and thought it too much bother.
