For the prices one has to pay for (to buy and to fix) other high end audiophile stuff, there is no reason for a Touch's screen to not look perfect. Its about the same size. > As for the carburetor on your Pontiac, I bet you can still get it > rebuilt. I'm sure that it can be for a price. But what you can't do today that you could when I had it, was go into any local autoparts store and buy not only all the parts, but all the other needed stuff, like the evil carb cleaner fluid. For one, there are far fewer autoparts stores. More importantly, the local autoparts store no longer carries such parts. Back in the day, everyone had to rebuild carbs, now only a few specialists know what a carb looks like. > For me, I don't have a Transporter, so I think I'll cease worrying > about how to fix what I don't own. ;-) Seems a bit weird that you were so concerned, while the TP is still for sale, its no longer a $2000 product and its not getting any press. Even audiophiles like their tail fins. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
