I don't often post but as a repair guy who tries to work on many things I own, I have noticed a few trends. CD/Optical drives in general probably have aged the least well. The laser diodes get weak and out of spec it seems. I also have a lot of tape decks that also need maintenance but many of those parts can still be sourced. I probably have at least 30 different CD/DVD/SACD players. Usually the lasers wear out and are difficult to find. You used to be able to buy them until all the stock dried up. For example, of the many I have, one is a Denon DCD-3560. It has a new laser in it. I also bought a spare 3560 NOS laser for a lot of money to have on hand just in case. I also have the very first CD player, a pair Sony CDP-101 players still working after 40 years. My Pioneer Elite players are still working as well. I went ahead and bought an Oppo BDP-105D too. I have so many optical players, I will likely never be without one. I listen to several analog and digital formats. I feel I am covered having so many players, a DAC+my own file server content and-or streamers.
I would say if anyone plans on buying an old used CD/SACD/DVD player, see if laser heads are still available and buy 1 or 2 spares with your choice player.
