Hasn't Bev of this parish got one of these that's probably not in use?

I've had a PM, just to be clear from looking at ebay sold prices I'm thinking about £20, or £30 mint with box and remote. (Well I'll need a remote regardless.)

There is this one on ebay that you might have seen. I have two of these, one the PS died and being a switch mode I can't be arsed to try to get it fixed and you can't get them anywhere. The one that works is a bit sniffy about some CDs and does what this ebay one does and spins up and then ejects the disc. It is often CDR's that it does this with. I find that if you leave it on standby all the time it only does it rarely. The one thing that you don't often get is the remote control with them, and these are hard to source on their own.

Thanks yes I saw that but it's broken, I've seen ones in excellent condition go for £10-£20 plus postage which is the main attraction to me of trying this unit.

I have one of these, it doesn't work 100%. They look good from a distance but up close they are pretty nasty, plastic-fantastic things. I'd look for something else if I were you.

Oh I thought they were universally regarded as pretty hefty and chunky, and made great transports, is this a myth?
Also, didn't know it was a switch mode PS inside, can't have been that great as a CDP as all the reviews (well hifiworld et al) said.

No, they are a budget model and sound a bit 'processed' if used as a CD player, although it isn't the first Legato Link job I've thought that about.
Some do say they make good transports but I think this is purely subjective, there is nothing technically 'special' about them, and the actual transport mech itself is nothing to write home about. But...transports do sound different and it isn't always easy to pinpoint why. If you like it, then you like it.
However if you want something with good build quality, the 717 definitely isn't it.

wouldnt call them budget, or plasticy, but each to their own. The black ones look the best. Remotes are good and interchangable with the fancier 737.

Grant
