==============BEGIN QUOTE======================================
My Aiwa XR-H66MD quit reading CD's many months ago.
Now it won't make a decent MD recording, as a few tracks skip upon
playback.
I bet it's got Sony optical blocks in it.
I practically have to replace my Sony-based CD/MD equipment every year
just to keep it all working *sigh*.
================END QUOTE==================================
If you are constantly replacing your equipment or had to replace equipment
with a dead power supply, I would suggest that you keep the old equipment
rather than junking it if you are into electronics tinkering and
experimenting. Some of it can be useful as "parts donors". For example, you
may be able to use parts from a Sony JE520 to do elementary repairs on a
Sony JE530. Sometimes you may be able to find some parts useful for a
particular project like microswitches and rotary encoders from this kind of
equipment.
With regards,
Simon Mackay.
