Thanks to all for the input. One last question if I may: How would
each of you recommend seeking a repair service for the 2010? Is it as
simple as browsing a few directories of electronics/radio repairers,
is it better to find a Sony repair dealer (there is one here in NYC)
or is this a case of "The only one I'd trust my 2010 to is Bob in
Pocatello, ID. He's repaired over 300!!!"...?

And, from now on I'll be nicer to my A/C connection. -- JLM

poor Sony is sick. It's my life long friend. I can support abortion, but I
can't let anyone euthanize my Sony."

Hell, someone probably could have told you where to buy a Red radio, you
would have been happy as **** in a sewer pipe.

Women. Who needs them? Don't get me wrong, they have their purposes. (nod
nod, wink wink).

A blonde female motorist gets pulled over by a blonde female cop. The cop
says, I need to see your driver's license. The motorist says what's it look
like? The cop gets frustrated and says "it has your picture on it". The
motorist looks through her purse, finds and opens her compact, and stares
into the compact's mirror. The motorist hands the cop the compact and says,
is this it? The cop looks and gets really disgusted. The cop says "if you
would have told me you were a cop, I would have let you go a long time
ago".

I actually can appreciate your humor, though I'm sure you weren't
looking to charm me. I would like to offer the following:

1) I have a fantastic voice that is rather deep
2) I went into Universal specifically for a Drake R8 and had $2,000
ready to hand over. I couldn't get anyone to deal with me, and I was
only about 21 and not as assertive (read: bitchy) as I would be now.
I really don't think I imagined the sexism... I noticed every time I
asked a sales guy something, he would answer my uncle who was with me.
It was the weirdest thing. This was 12 years ago, and perhaps
they've changed. (Though I admit it's time I let go of the grudge)
3) My 2010 is about 8 years old, and I had read that it was not
expected to last that long. That's why I asked if it was worth
repairing or how could I get something comparable for the money since
they don't make new ones. I don't see the harm in posting questions
that are on topic, if naive, to this group.
4) Abortion? Egads, all I wanted was a radio.

Thanks for writing, M. Keep the hate... I mean, faith.

Subject: If these are your priorities, which radio is for you?
