McIntosh MCD-7000 worth fixing? (Mac's first CD player)

I can see what the sold values are on eBay, but I have no idea what it would cost to fix. FWIW, it doesn't power on at all, so it's probably a power supply problem, but there are no guarantees. Of it anyone knows what the value of it would be in current condition, that would be helpful as well.
 
If you take it to a McIntosh dealer, the power supply repair may run a couple hundred dollars. You can then find out if the laser is worn out, and that's another $400-$450 to replace the laser assembly. In fact, even if working, the laser assembly would be tired by now. I would invest it in a newer model or universal player, and look for a good deal. I have the MVP-851 and love it. Then a MVP-861 came along, and I bought it, but it's not playing all CDs. Plays SACD and DVD just fine, and the repair estimate was $450.
