Yep, me too. I bought a used modded BDP-83 which stopped reading discs after a couple of years. Oppo determined the mods had messed up the transport and replaced the entire transport mechanism and charged me $79 including return shipping!
When my $3000 modded Sony 9100 stopped reading discs a while back, no one locally (Seattle) would even touch it, including the modder. I sold it for next to nothing. I replaced it with the 83 and a NAD M51 DAC, and lately with a 103D as a transport. I've owned 6 Oppo players at all levels, and they are the class act in disc spinners, IMO.
