I discovered I had two leftover shadow box frames from my Minidisc project last year. I thought I’d switch it up a bit so I searched everyone’s favorite auction site for “Parts Or Repair” portable CD players. This one came up for $20 and I figured it was worth it. If it did workâor I could get it working, I could easily flip it (because I didn’t really need another portable player), or if not, put one of those shadow boxes to use.
This model is a strange beast. It fell in the transition period between the all metal mid 80s decks and the all plastic era of the 90s. It’s plastic, but lacks any sort of skip protection, and the innards more resemble the metal models than the plastic ones.
