The point is, its at the end of it`s life cycle. Either trash it, or drop it off at one of the municipal collections for electronics.
Product life cycle
Wondering what people do with old high end products that have reached the end of their life cycle. 20 year old cd players and transports may be the top example. In my case, the item is a Cary Audio CD-303 player that won't spin the disc anymore. Is there anything other than the recycle bin?
