BHD812 and I will be hosting a meet in the Chicago area. We're jonesing really, it's been only three weeks since Billy got to see you all, and almost a year for me. I guess we're just gluttons for punishment. The target date is May 14th and the planned location will be Billy's folk's bar. It's...

Does anyone here know where I can buy a replacement Sony brand BP-DM1 battery or it's equivalent? I purchased a used discman and the included battery seems to be dead. Thanks in advance.

I was out running errands and stopped by the local pawn shop. In it I found a pair of Grado SR125 headphones shrinkwrapped with a Sony PCDP and connected by a Radio Shack adaptor. The AC adaptor was included too. I asked the sales guy how much he was asking for the kit. He said $20, I said I'll...
