Found this one on eBay, wasn't all that interested at first, but the seller offered me a good price a figured it'd be worth a shot to repair it. This is the first CD player I've attempted to fix, and I think it went quite well. Granted the largest problem I had to fix could have been caused by me, but hey that's just part of the fun hah.

I don't think I will be picking up any more CD players, unless there is something mechanically interesting with it, since they are fairly simple devices in terms of mechanics. (Incredibly cool electronically however) And CD's, or digital audio in general doesn't have much appeal to me either. It's kinda hollow, with no nuanced differences across devices, while a tape could sound somewhat different depending on the device used.
