I don't know why they would single out LA Sax at this late stage of the Asian sax invasion where there are saxes pouring in from Taiwan, China, Viet-Nam and who knows where else. That's like saying you won't work on 1992 Hondas - how many are actually still in use?
In this case techs in general better just forget about not working on this kind of sax because they are becoming more and more prevalent AND they are working their way up to the upper levels of the sax world.
LA Sax was really the first intrusion of the Taiwan sax into the USA and it was a marketing masterpiece with all the different finishes and pro player affiliation. As it turns out, they were decent horns for the money and no other brand of that type has gotten the attention that LA Sax did.

WWBW (Bamber) had the LA Sax 'tipped-bell' soprano branded 'Woodwind' and sold them for about $750 IIRC, around 1998. This was a decent horn with a big sound.
