Well, that's the real trick, isn't it? And it's going to cost you something extra. Ten, I mean seven thousand, all in advance. Just kidding. Couldn't resist that one.

Well, I have been in contact with someone who sells X9 and X0 Players, but I don't think that is of much good though. You probably already know them. They live in Japan and said it would be $5,000 U.S. for one without the packaging and $6,000.00 with packaging. Shipping alone would be $700.00. They can also have it looked at by Pioneer's Facility to make sure nothing is wrong with the unit and replace any parts that need it for $1000.00. They said they could get a unit to me or anyone else for $7000.00 U.S.

If you guys receive $100.00 donations from 70 people, it could happen.

I'm going to do some more checking around. I have some friends scattered around the States and Japan who were LD aficionados and never cared much for DVD when it came along. Maybe one of them can point me in the direction of one that could at least be used for your purposes. I know Japan wouldn't be of much help because the shipping, but maybe someone Stateside could help.

I know it is a longshot, but I'll keep you posted on that.
