I often hear Americans here say this, but to me Sony represents a very
good quality brand! All Sony equipment we own are still working after
in one case 20 years of service! Nothing beats Sony in my opinion when
it comes to small portables: Walkman WM6DC, SWF-1 muliti-band portable
radio, the first CD Walkman (D-50?), my kids *very* sturdy "My First
Sony" portable cassette recorder, etc. All of this equipment still in
use.

That's the problem, Sony *WAS* a good brand 20 years ago. No longer.
