I've just binned a Sony V6000 camcorder. About 12 years old, but hardly used. Optically and mechanically like new. The problem: dozens of leaking electrolytic capacitors. The phenomenon is known. Affects all V5000 and V6000 sooner or later. Canon users report the same trouble with their former top-of-line EX-1. My Philips FM1000 vhf transceiver doesn't let me program new receive frequencies. Transmit yes, but not receive. Hasn't been dunked, either. Just two examples of electronics failing. Ralf -- Ralf R.
