Very true. My 1985 Meridian MCD just died about two months ago. I couldn't be bothered replacing the laser pickup even though I have the service manual (I doubt the part is acailable, actually). But the CD/DVD player we bought to replace it cost half the price (*without* taking inflation into account!) and sounds so much better it's startling. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
