Part of the challenge, I think, will lie in trying to fix something that basically was NOT designed to be fixed...It was designed for ease of manufacture, to be cheap & disposable, & not have a long lifespan...I seriously doubt Panasonic ever imagined that there would be a small society of Mad Monks-US-who would want to collect & preserve those l'il fellers...
