Densen's always been one of those brands to me which charge a lot for something that's nothing special in a fancy case. That's true of pretty much any CD player from the boutique brands.
It's not just the drawer, discs have started skipping towards the end. So that's not a job for me. I expect the repair to cost a few bob, but it will still be cheaper than ditching it and buying a new one.
The Densen is back to behaving itself again, but for how long who knows. I've decided I don't like the sound (now my ears have latched onto it I can't ignore it). Maybe I'll get it fixed then sell it. Or even sell as-is. I saw a non-working one go on Ebay for a couple hundred.
