This is one of the famous [infamous ] stable platter cd players from the early 90's ...well recieved at the time. This example is in mint boxed condition though some of the polystyrene packing has vanished over time !
The cd player was tested and is in perfect working condition ...when hooked upto a system it gave a couple of modern marantz cdps [6001? and an other] heart failure. But a quad 99cdp2 showed it a clean pair of heels on all fronts.
the following is a review from the time

This cd player is for sale at £45.00 ono plus postage
This is part of a cornucopia of hifi that a mate's uncle had collected over the last 40 years .....sadly he is terminally ill and is now in long term care. As such his house has been cleared and sold to cover the care costs.
if you need more info please contact me ...though as previously stated the cdp is not in my possession and will take a couple of days to arrange collection or inspection.
