Erm, A Technics SLP-28A ... sitting in my loft hasn't been used for around 3 years! But was perfect last time it was in my system!
Adios for Now,
Chris.
The CD player inside of my Naim Uniti, about 10 years old now. Not an oldie or relic really compared to so many here....

I have a 1990 Sony CDP 390 still running like new.
Steve.
Kit I have:
CD player, TTs, Phono stages, Pre amps, Power amps, Integrated amps, DACs, Streamers, Speakers and a bunch of cables.
I have a Toshiba which was a Christmas present in 1989 which still plays fine although I only play it once in a while when I'm in the garage. It's a rebadged Philips.
I'm still running a 1999 Linn Karik III + Numerik in my main rig. Legend has it that one ran daily on the QEII for 15 years. It has disliked a couple of discs in the last year but is otherwise fine in regular use.

I have a few early ones including an MF Delta 170 Transport and a Mission PCM 7000, both near new and working well. Still revert to these players despite newer high end players. Martin

Good question - I have a Philips CD100 which is working - it was working from the start about 3 years ago, I just had it recapped as a precaution to increase its longevity. So I guess this doesn't count.
Nowadays I stream 99% of the time so the player does not get much use - however the streaming transport connects to an old Arcam Black Box 1 which has never been serviced and works perfectly well (I have two of them). Again does not count I know.
This is my Pioneer P-D1. The first CD player of the brand, year 1983. It's part of the series Z for Japan market only. Works OK especially with older CDs. Doesn't like some of the new. I have it since 2018. Don't have information if there were some repairs before. Like it a lot
