Mitsubishi DP-105 vs. DP-205?

[alicecooper9]

I have the Mitsubishi DA-L70 cassette changer, LT-70 turntable, and SS-L70 speakers and I am on the hunt for the complementary CD player but I’m not sure of the difference between the DP-105 and DP-205, which I believe are the proper matches for the set. From exterior appearances I’ve seen in some blurry photos they look about the same and they share the same manual, but I haven’t been able to find manual scans online to try to figure out the difference for myself. Anyone out there with a manual or a knowledge of the differences?

I had everything restored a couple of years ago after it had sat uncovered in my parents’ garage for 15+ years (with a fun surprise for the poor technician as apparently wasps had taken up residence in the speakers) and everything works great now except they were unable to get the sensor for the turntable track selection working again, so in addition to my original query if anyone knows a fix or where I can get a replacement part I would be very appreciative.

Thanks in advance!

Well I couldn’t help myself while thinking about how rare both versions are and ordered the only one of either I’ve ever seen for sale online, a supposedly working 105 for 40% off bringing it to around $80 with tax and shipping, because who knows if I’ll ever find a functioning 205 anyway - doesn’t mean I won’t keep looking though, haha. My question still stands as I am curious of the differences but I’m looking forward to finally completing my stack of what one of the repair techs called “the most hipster stereo [he’s] ever seen”.
