Another Rescue/Restoration Project
The other day I ran across this Denon DVM-725 5-disc DVD/CD/MP3/WMA/DTS player/changer that was supposedly junk. The drawer did not move in or out reliably and the carousel did not spin quite as expected. A recent post from a couple of weeks ago described the rescue of a similar Sony …
The Airplane Progresses
