#N:fortune:1400001:000:276 fortune!norskog Mar 20 18:17:00 1983 Does or will anyone offer a digital (CD) disk play kit? Heathkit would be the number 1 choice, of course. An optional digital output port would be very nice to play around with; as would the ability to input data to the D/A circuitry. Lance Norskog Fortune Systems

The Sony CDP101 contains four (4) servo-motors, plus a couple of PC boards that just about cover the top and bottom plates of the cabinet. Plus, of course, the laser/detector unit. To be truthful, I can`t see how they can sell them for $700 in Japan, much less $1K here, and recover anything like their engineering and manufacturing costs. A CD player kit would probably not cost any less; what other advantages would it have? Jeff
