I hope to have gear that lasts long. Right now, my oldest continuous in use unit is one of the very first DVD players, a Sony DVP-s3000, circa 1994 that I bought new.
Yeah thanks.. we're very close to Rt-28.

The MCD 7007 was purchased new in 1988, so it's over 20 years old. The other six Mc instruments were purchased from dealers or audio companies as previously owned (units I've always wanted) for 1/2 to 2/3 the last retail price. Being quite the technician at age 10, I'm more than willing and able to get inside and take steps to make the units `as good as new.´ It's true that many of the trade-ins had minor problems, most of which were intermittent connections.

Each time you get inside a Mc, you develop new tricks and treatments that can be applied the to the next unit serviced. You're always battling against minor scrapes in the finish, contaminants, and the ongoing attack of oxygen.
