hi, it looks like i might be in the need to buy a new standalone duplicator. the one i have now (about 4 years old) is starting to have problems with just about any brand discs that i use. been doing ok lately with verbatim dvd-r 4x discs, but is starting to reject those as well and now those are discontinued. was ok for awhile with ritek, but then started rejecting those. i don't have alot of money to spend nor do i need anything fancy. i just want a basic dvd/cd duplicator that will not have a problem with different brands of discs and that will last me awhile. i want to get the best duplicator i can for around $200. anybody got any suggestions? what about it LS? lmk. thanks stoogedog

Can your current one have drives swapped out for others?

I've got one of those 1-to-1 duplicators that acted up every once in a while. Usually it just needs a cleaning. I've taken it apart and hit the inside with compressed air (after removing the drive units). Then used a CD/DVD cleaner. No problems since.
One of the problem with those units is, they don't normally recognize newer drives, so it may not like a newer burner - the firmware on the controller sometimes can be upgraded.

I can always try to repair your duplicator. If nothing else, I could confirm it is indeed beyond repair.
I actually don't use duplicators personally, just computer DVD burners. (Clarification: I've worked with duplicators, just don't own one for myself.) If you still want to buy a new one... For the most part, anything stocked with good drives is best. Pioneer or Samsung, right now.
