Oracle CD2500 MKI


What's the fair price for working machine in good condition? Its twenty years old. Is Bluebook $4k valuation realistic ? 

TIA, L

there is a Mk2 for sale asking price is $2700 so i think the $2000 mentioned is probably close to max for an excellent mk1. note it will be limited to CD only and your probably going to want to add an outboard DAC as that's getting long in the tooth as they say being over 20 years old. but it will look nice beside your table. I'd also check for part availability like the CD drive and laser assembly, if they are non existence I'd pass. 

I don't see that MKII on any site , Can you post link ? 

Philips CD-pro drives are not available for many years now. All you have are crapshot substitutes and when the NOS drive appears on the market it's a $1k part. ,,,,

The Oracle Audio cd transports and players are rarely for sale.  And, they are stunning machines.  I have the 1500 transport.  

if you want one, you should buy it.
