        First, Uncle Roger declared...

>I have [music] CD's going back to the mid-80's. They all work fine.
>(P.S., never buy an Aiwa CD player.)

        Max responded with...

>Why do you say this? I found an AIWA all-in-one thing (radio,tape,
>phono,cd) in the trash a few years ago, and it has worked fine. Does
>it damage CDs or something?

        I think I know what Roger may be referring to, Max. About a year and
something ago, I bought my mate an Aiwa 3-disc CD player/changer that also
sported a SCSI port for the benefit of using data CDs.

        The thing was new, still in the box. After about a month, it died. I sent
it off to Aiwa, they repaired it under warranty. It came back, lasted for
about another year, then the mechanicals in the transport died. Permanently.

        Needless to say, I'm not impressed with Aiwa's later stuff (after 1993 or
so).
