Even so they were expensive to make and Philips effectively sold every one at a loss. They were replaced by the considerably value-engineered CD160 which was an absolute dog's dinner.

I had a CD104B, the black one and an improvement over the original CD104. Superbly built, however in stuffing everything into a comparitively small-sized case, the components ran hot and several of the dozens and dozens of solder joints could either go "dry" and noisy, or fail.

Eventually mine developed a fault which meant once loaded, the disc would not spin up to speed. I ditched it and swapped my allegiance to Sony.

Regards

Don't worry i'm aware of the weak areas that are potential issues, but 25 years old just needs a belt, good going i say.
