I picked up a Philips CD 100 today, the very first CD player from Philips released in 1982.
It was sold as in good cosmetic condition but non-working.
I would say it's doesn't look great, very scratched up and dirty, but it still mostly works after 43 years. I'm not surprised, the CDM-0 mechanism is indestructible.
The right channel is way down but faintly audible. That's almost certainly the muting relay for which I have spares.
