I have a shop looking at making the handles(again).
A couple ideas were brought up.
To save some cost they could eliminate the machining in the handle for the 2 plates on either side with the "hooks" that hold the player into the sled.
It would still rotate and pull the unit out but it wouldn't lock the player in.
This doesn't appear to be a problem on my player as it feels secure enough without it.(I've tested it for a week and it hasn't come out,the docking plug seems to hold in in nicely)
If needed a piece of velcro could be added to the back of player and inside of sled(if enough clearance) to hold it in.
The other issue is that there would be no more spring to keep the handle from moving or vibrating.Perhaps a small piece of velcro here would work also.
So would people prefer to have the exact handle or a somewhat modified handle to save on costs.
