TEAC 500 CD

[Cookie]

The above CD players had a fault and tended to fail after using.
Anyone know what common fault was with these players and
is it easy to repair.
Friend selling 500 cd player and amp.
Any help appreciated.

Don't know it or what TEAC is being referenced (and only see one player "above"), but I've liked various TEACs and if you trust your friend and he or she has used it and liked it (big pluses in buying used), and you like the units, no reason I'd be concerned with others' reported "tendencies".

All CD players will eventually fail. Wasn't aware of any particular issues with this one.
If concerned just buy the amp.

Sure enough: my ~34-year-old Sony slowly but surely became disabled this year.

In the past seen many TEAC 500 Systems for sale but with cd not working.
Perhaps lens is poor and has short life.
How much does it cost to have new lens and fitted.
