Time heals all wounds?

a little preventative or problem solving device

laser lens cleaner, $9.

I had a Sony carousel CD player for my garage/shop.  It played for many years and then it wouldn't read a disc, then it would a week later.  This went on for about a year(!) Then I finally had it and ripped it apart...down in the bowels of this thing I discover that the drive belt is barely there, limp to say the least.  Well, by then it was too late, trash.

Procrastination solves all problems. In life too.

@barts , "Shops are not kind to ancient 'out to pasture' audio gear."

A couple of 'spring shop scrubs' ago, took down the Sony receiver & 5 cd player, and the SAE 2 band & channel parametric eq; the latter the only 'vintage' of the bunch.  The SAE and the player are essentially sealed or opted to not hassle to do more than vac, clean the obvious, lube as req'd.all that moves or slides....

The receiver, with the case top and sides off had a eighth- to a quarter-inch of sawdust on anything 'top-up'.....but, Hey...SS, A/B...

Can't kill it with a stick...

Is there a market for old/vintage NADs? (no, not those "old nads"!)

Integrated amp with phono stage, power amp, and tuner, all from the way early days (early 80's), all work, and they could use a good home where they are appreciated.

Probably if it's priced right. I've had numerous NAD products over the years and always loved them.
