   I worked 'em... I worked 'em GOOOOD   
      
   After all I been through? Damn straight I worked 'em :)   
      
   I have the local Jazz station playing and so far so good, but it will   
   take some time to be absolutely kinda sure. These old Japanese beasts   
   are such great machines I just hated to let this one languish. In the   
   meantime I fixed the reluctant tray on a NAD C-451 CD player. Apparently   
   the factory installed belt on these machines didn't quite cut it. This   
   one was  reluctant to open fresh out of the box. A new 69ยข O-ring did   
   the trick. Next I have an Advent 300 and a Harman Kardon 930 that need   
   attention.
