- I own a Sony Sports Walkman that I bought in 1986 and it finally died
- in 1991 after extensive use (tape head worned out). I took good care of it
- but I knew it's going to break down soon.
-
- What I didn't expect is my Sony Discman D88 (about 4 years old) and it's
- starting to skip any CD's over 68 minutes. It's losing its tracking
- mechanism. I'm not sure what I should do, take it to repairs (cost $$$)
- or use some sort of cleaning device. Advice?
