Hello folk:

I just got a second-hand portable CD player at an auction for A$140.
The problem is, it takes +- 6 volts and uses a weird connector for the 
adapter.  (Of course a new adapter is A$108 and just the connector is
A$66 !!!!) don't you love this kind of ripoff?!  Any way, the manufacturer
is Technics and the model is SL-XP5.  I've gotten it going on a dual-
tracking Power Supply at work here, but it's a kludge, fer sure.  Just
thought I'd let you all know.

It does sound nice, but I'm not a portable specialist. . .  I wish DAT
were available.   Down with corporate tyrrany!!  Power to the people.

Ronn
