Regards, fleib: Old Toshiba went kaput a while back, took out such saved data with it, some of which it is now not likely to be recovered. Learned tonight that snoring may lead to early memory loss and Alzhimers. Double whammy, 'puter crashed &...

Regards, Griffithds: Thanks, Don. JVC literature declares neither the Z or X carts are (were) not marketed in Canada or the U.S., will cast my internets a little wider. Peace,

Regards, Halcro: Technics EPC-U25, an etch for which there is no cure.Now the cart of the biennium (COTB), a NOS Shibata seems unobtainable for the JVC Z1. As an alternative to the SAS assembly, would anyone have any experience of the OEM elliptic...
