If he chooses not to repair it, I can fully understand that as well. He did say you can find everything on blu-ray anyway, but didn't say anything about any of those BGV titles which leads me to believe he doesn't really care about those - so it's pretty unlikely he'll cover that Okinawa Underwater disc either.
When comparing the Muse LD to BD he does actually spend a little time pointing out the improvements in film transfer technology as being a factor in the difference beyond the format itself. As usual he seems to have done his research fairly well, someone with a naturally curious and inquisitive nature. Even though he doesn't talk about anything other than the film titles at any length I'd like to think that's only through a lack of having any to actually experience and comment on rather than a lack of interest.
I could understand that for such little return on the outlay he might decide just to cut his losses rather than try to fix the player. In that case I hope at least he'd sell the player for parts rather than it just ending up on the scrap heap.
