A) One is an intro, and the other is a transition...just like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyAD87_zfek Q) Why don't they use 3D Printing to create a new centre gear for the DD walkman range A) Too thin, too weak - not possible. Check the forums linked above for more info. Corrections 1) The WM-EX900 does have limited functionality without a remote. The machine has a single button that you can tap once to play or stop. Double-tap to FF, Triple Tap to REW and hold to play the other side. 2) The new brass centre gear for the DD range is a prototype - the finished version will be plastic.
