Early CD Player Recommendations?

[sisore]

Extraordinary collection Stan. I can understand the attraction! I have one of the nicest early CDPs I feel, in the XR-Z90, though the Kenwood LO3DP is a great looking deck too..



And the Technics SL-P10



I love those old vertical loading CDPs!

Ok!!

I own the whole Toshiba XR-Z90 family. I have 3 or 4 Kenwood L-03DP, among which one is brand new in box.
As far as Technics is concerned, it's my favourite brand (we all have one, don't we?), as you may have noticed on my website.

The only Technics vintage player missing is SL-P15 (Multi-disc player), but I will catch it soon, I hope.

I managed to find a SL-P10 in silver (VERY rare), from Japan, and it's working like a new

In fact, I have several SL-P10, and this one is of my favourites.

Ok I am going to pick one picture, I don't know which player.

Just for illustration, I will add pictures regularly.

The CD Player that thinks it's a tape deck! You can see where the designers got their cues

For you Kris!

Here are two pictures showing the Marantz CD63B:

I have more than 10 thousands vintage players' pictures on my computer (for my website)

I will illustrate from time to time

That second pic is interesting. I've never taken mine apart so have never known what it looks like inside.

I really wish my SL-P10 hadn't died on me. It was a beautiful player. Probably my favourite. Press the button and it would present the disc to you. I called it Bonzo, and whenever it presented me with a disc I said 'Thanks Bonzo'

If you want to see how your CD63B was made inside, have a look here (3 pages )

SL-P10 was very fragile.

The weakest vintage player's laser units ever , probably.

I bought the Meridian MCD-Pro when it came out, it was a serious player back then & quite thin on the ground these days..Any close up pics to drool over for old times sake??
