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,

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
