Sounds a bargain John - they were pretty good "bargain basement" players in their day (Richer Sounds special, I think?) and a good introduction into what a "separates" player could do. Enjoy!

Is to give a larger gap between tracks when recording?

My MD deck has a space feature (not a button, but an entry in the menu). It puts an additional gap between tracks during playback. I guess the eclipse will do something similar.

Yes ,I think that is correct ! Took the plunge
And pushed the button ,it apears to pause for a few seconds
Between tracks,would that have been for home tapeing?

Sounds like a good tenners' worth! Googling it found this, from Singapore, I think. Good if you like ZZTop

Ahh... the Eclipse CD101..
Takes me back to our house-share system - Eclipse CD101 and Sony tape/vinyl/receiver entertainment system with some dynatron speakers.
I think the CD101 was considered something decent for original bargain basement Richer Sounds type purchases, like say a Cambridge Audio CD4

Yeah,did sound lovely,alas its started to scuff and scratch,shame really
