Why this grade
Sony distributes OEM replacement parts to the public through Encompass and publishes a 'Sony Right to Repair manuals' portal (model-number lookup), likely driven by U.S. state right-to-repair law compliance, which puts it ahead of makers with no public documentation. iFixit guides exist for Alpha bodies, which are serviceable, though official repair is centralized at Teaneck NJ / San Jose CA facilities and parts/manual coverage varies by model. No documented part-pairing software lock.
