I had a Philipps early ??880 from the mid 80's. After 10 years it displayed the same symptoms. All that was wrong was a single capacitor! failed. Too bad someone can't take a peek inside and see if on of the caps is leaking. If one is... then that item being replaced might 'fix' the problem. That is a 'cheapskate' way of trying to solve the problem. If you really can't do it, and only a professional repair is available... I'd let it sit and buy a new(used) player.
$400 CAL CD player- Scrap it or fix it?
I have a California Audio Lab DX-1 CD player. It's about 3 years old, and it has worked flawlessly. Recently it skips, fails to "read" a disc, won't play at all, etc. It happens intermittently, and it is out of warranty. Turning it on and off usually fixes it. Nothing in the system or the environment has changed or moved. The question is with a minimum $75.00 repair charge should I fix the player or consider it disposable and scrap it? Any opinions?
