Does anyone know where it is currently possible to purchase
a Sony CD player -- either 102 or 302. They seem to have
become scarcer than hen's teeth and other rare items;
maybe it was the CU story that did it.
I have tried every local place I know about, and also a
couple of the mail order spots like S.C.A. Illinois Audio
has a constantly busy phone for the last three days.

[] I think there's something we just have to understand about Sony: Their marketing department has a death wish. That's why they blew the tape and cassette market. And the Video Recorder (Beta) market. And, now, the CD market. I sure hope AT&T can do better. Seems to be something about these inventive, high tech companies. In each of the above cases, Sony substantially created the market themselves, then stood aside and let everyone else take it away from them. Maybe its their president, lately he has been saying he wants to sell just to OEMs and industry. (Sh*t!) -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
