Hi. Thanks again..
Well, I did it: before reading your post and returning the latest ps2 which wasn't reading, I spent two hours taking apart, cleaning and adjusting the lens height on the ps2. I got a how to from the ars antica website.. I figured it couldn't hurt..I got two ps1 discs to play (it still refused on others). And they are iffy at that. So I can return/refund it... Or put up wth not many discs playing. Obviously, I don't want the headache. How much should they be new and used?
