Need 1984 SONY CDP 701 ES repaired

I have a Sony CD player from 1984, model CDP 701ES that needs repair. The disc tray extends out and stops - with a disc it retracts into the machine - and that is all. There is a red LED that indicates the player does not recognize the disc is there. I doubt the laser is damaged, the player never had that much use. Why bother? Because this player (otherwise) is in pristine condition without a mark on it. To a collector it must have some value. Any thoughts?

Some, if not all, CD players from that era typically do not recognize the first and last track of modern CD's. Try selecting Track 2 and see if that works.

As others have stated, a 25 year old CD player really doesn't have any intrinsic value regardless of its pristine condition.

Digital to Analog (DAC) technology has improved tremendously. The DAC used in the CDP 701ES can't compare to even mid-range CD players manufactured today, in terms of audio reproduction.

Let it go and buy new on the edge of the curve, e. g. Oppo 83SE.
