[TechAssist] Re: 2nd try - [part] - Sharp SC2700AV - CD top cabinet

Gary, and All;
I appreciate all the help, and suggestions, that I received from everyone on
this list.
Harry, is sending me a good "used" part.
This has been a very educational experience for me.
It's nice to know, that there is still good help available, from each other
on these lists.

Thanks again,
LLW
