Maier Amsden@ChrisMayLA6 @pluralistic I got an earlier version Sony Discman and used it for almost a decade until the spindle motor burned out. Then I replaced the spindle motor and laser and used it for another 5 years. It was heavy, had a hard metal shell that was easy to disassemble (because we used to design things *for servicing). Later versions were plastic, cheaply made, quicker to break, harder to fix - disposable. Sony's rep collapsed, as did many technician jobs. And the e-waste did flow.
