IMO yes get it repaired and upgraded. How much do you want to spend?  You can add better power supply capacitors and upgrade key resistors making what was a very good CDP competitive in todays marketplace. We recently did an old Cary SACD player with over 100 parts.  Damm if it does not knock our socks off.

Happy Listening.

Repair only if very cheap. 

.....take the deduct and run.....If asked why, say that it's disgusting to listen to the point of physical pain and move on....;)

My CAL icon mk Ii died many many years ago. Easily replaced and bettered even then.

Streaming is where it’s at these days. Rip your CDs and play with Roon. Or just keep it simple and buy a good quality new cd player. The technology overall has come a long way. DACs in particular. Top notch sound need not cost much.

They replaced a laser in an old Kavent CD 731 CD player. Breath of life in a great older player that would have unwarrantly hit the trash. Playing like new every day. The key to bringing the old stuff to life is finding the right doctor.
