BAT VK-D5 CD Player Needed New Transport Assembly

I just got my 3 year old BAT VK-D5 CD Player back from the BAT Factory. The unit would not play CD's and they had to replace the transport assembly ($400) and also changed the tubes ($120). I was using my Meridian 508.20 CD player as a substitute player but the BAT VK-D5 is a much better sounding unit. Is this technical repair something that I need to worry about or just a chance occurance?

I received my repaired BAT VK-D5 last Friday (May 10) and the new transport is working okay (to fix the error problem). I have been using it daily and every single CD played perfectly. Special thanks to BAT for the fast turn around with my repair.

From a BAT Product enhancement viewpoint (moving forward), I recommended that their transport assembly should hold the CD in a locked position (like my Meridian 508.20) and that it should be stronger. It is my opinion that a $4,500+ priced CD player should have a higher quality transport assembly. thanks...
