Sounds like you had a bad experience Stuart, but I've had a great one. I
bought my 702 from Richer Sounds for about �160 two years ago, and it's
still going strong. The only problem has been a couple of tiny screws
falling out, making the cover loose. This was easily fixed by a 79p
spectacles repair kit.
The only reason I replaced it with an R900 was MDLP.
Your point about secondhand gear could apply to anything - you've no
guarantee or comeback, and no knowledge of the unit's care or history.
I'd certainly recommend the 702, from my experience. I think Richer Sounds
still sell them cheaply, although they may be recon stock.

A reason not to get anything from the 7xx series? Hows about the player not
functioning? You get a second hand player and you might as well have burned
your money. I bought myself a 701 (near enuff the same as the 702, only
difference is chasis) for about $140, then needed to power it (no battery,
of course), bought a battery, another $60 (i'm converting from pounds by the
way at around about 1.5) and 2 months of use later, the bastard packed up. I
got an MZ-R900 and it was the best purchase I have ever made. If you even
dream about getting anything from the Sharp 7xx series you'll regret it
woefully.
