It is a sad thing to spend mucho dollars on a fine player only to have it made useless due to a lack of repair parts.....really sucks. My Harley , no matter how old it gets, will always be rebuildable. Can we not adapt new and different CD drives to the otherwise fine CD1 or now, the CD3 ,so they can be used and enjoyed far into the future? How about it James, can we keep our great CD players alive and not be condemned to the junk heap? :: ::(b:
