Video Description

Another in my vintage CD player series, this time from format co-inventors Sony. This CDP-35 was an eBay purchase with a listing that said it failed to read discs. I was drawn to the mid-'80s Sony aesthetics, as well as the voltage selector at the rear that makes it compatible with mains supplies from different countries. While working on the unit I found a small rubber ring which piqued my curiosity - was it there by accident? *Image of rubber ring in thumbnail not to scale. Outro music: Calvary by TrackTribe
