How many years of use should I get from a home CD player? Just a rough guess - I know it depends on hours of usage, etc.
I have a Sony CDP-
C615 that I bought in 92 (give or take a year - I was in Korea) that started having problems about 6 months ago. It has a 5 disc platter. Every once in a while it won't recognize that a disc is in the tray. Also, when in the Shuffle Play Mode, it will just (electronically) keep looking for a song to play - it keeps shuffling until I puch the stop button. I've used the disc cleaners, and even took the thing apart and vacuumed everything, but it still has intermittent probs and is getting worse. I'd imagine it's probably cheaper to buy a new one rather than pay an hourly bench fee to have it repaired.
Not to mention it was moved from Korea to Germany, then Germany to Texas, then moved once while in Texas.
BTW - I'm still using the Pioneer SA-508 amp that I bought in 79 (give or take a year - I was in Germany).
This thing went from Germany to storage to Florida to storage to Michigan to storage to Korea to Germany to Texas.
Guess I got my mileage out of it, eh? And it's on right now and working just fine.
Guess we could talk about old stereos also...
