TEAC PD-495 cd player thrift find

Found it at a local TS for $7. Made in Japan in 1992. Won't play CDrs and loading tray needs to be pushed a bit to lock into place.

Any tips on how to get it back in tip top shape? Any other information is appreciated.

Thanks.

Just a follow-up on this. I opened it up, cleaned it and seems that the loading tray was not aligned. Now its working fine.

It would play cd-r's intermittently. I did a head to head test and compared it to my JVC XL-161 which is highly rated and I must say the TEAC beats it in transparency. It is also warm and non-fatiguing. Not bad for $7! :banana:
