How do CD players stand up in marine environments? Most of the
circuitry should be OK, but there are some rather precise moving
parts that I'm worried about. Anyone have any experience with using
a CD player long term on a boat? I'm thinking of getting someone
a Sony CDP-350 for xmas, but I'm not sure how long it will last.
VCRs and such only seem to last 3-4 years before they are toast,
but then they have polished surfaces and such....

re .0 You don't say whether its a salt or fresh water marine
environment. Also, boat size may be a factor - generally smaller
equals wetter and bumpier <land lubber speak>

It's a home unit for use very close to the water on a very small
island, so it's a lot closer to a marine environment than land.
Definately salt water, in fact I suspect that the local entropy
gradient is a _lot_ steeper there than anywhere else. :+}
