Kenk168, I think they are the same thickness, standard wall. There is a standard wall, a X-hvy and a XX-heavy wall thickness.Almost all domestic copper is standard wall.The thicker walls are used for Industrial use. 
Should I do it or Not??? Tech question
The cost to repair vs, the cost to replace tells me to go for it! Have some fun.Since you say you have the Transistors, try to fix it yourself.Once soldered ,start it up with some headphones first, then try some cheapo speakers. Listen really care...

Cyclonicman, I was wondering that too. Even the big name CD manufactures should be including or have a built in/out copper sleeve.I know my Cary CD player has a copper base and a copper shroud around the transport, wonder why they they never thoug...

Chrissain, Why dont you try it for yourself and then you decide?It will cost less than $5 for one, or under $10 bucks for two.Try 2 on your power cable to your CD player one on each end.

Another update: Add another Copper sleeve to the AC (on the male end) power cord on your CD player. This sleeve along with the other sleeve over the IEC end of the AC power cord to your CD player really adds dynamics! Bass is stronger, treble and ...
