Sony C333ES not working ... worth fixing/selling or recycle it??

This is an oldie (15yrs) but a goodie, manufactured when Sony overbuilt their ES line of gear.  Had been lightly used in the nursing home I work for until recently when the drawer stopped opening with CD's still trapped inside.

I live in an area devoid of repair shops except one who will charge $75 just to look at it.  The nursing home ordered a new Onkyo player to replace this one so now I need to decide whether to sell it or recycle it.  Is there still a market for a player this old?  In particular one that does not work?? 

Also I see no way to get the CDs out of the player without completely dismantling it ... removing the top cover does NOT give access to the tray.  If anyone has a tip there I would appreciate it (the CDs most likely suck so it would not be a crime to lose them).

Thx!
