This is right on, and although I had read this letter, I thought I would 

summarize and detail, since I thought the PXL I just got was a "dud" or 

something. It was horribly cloudy and you could barely make anything out. 

Here's what I did and it's beautifully clear now:



Loosen screws and take off "filter" or "lens"

Unscrew the three screws and remove the "mini-lens" or pickup cover

Open the "mini-lens" (there's a little black snap on one side" and remove 

   the tiny little blue lens (app. 3mm X 3mm)

Clean the blue lens on both sides with Windex or window cleaner and replace

Put it all back together. VOILA! Whoa, i can't believe it's the same 

    camera. It's a miracle! 



Now, what about the cassette player belts?? If the tape plays/records 

slowly and doesn't want to start that means I need new belts, right?

Where can these be obtained or what is a belt size/number, anyone??
