Just bought three surplus CDPs "as-is" here in Davao at exremely low prices - roughly three units for the price of one at the Pier. Two Sony CDP-502es and a Sony CDP X333es, they all work fine, sound is generally good, could quickly read CDRs but had to replace the belts of two units. I'm keeping the X333 since it has facility for a 3-inch CDs but I'm planning to turn over three 502es units (incl. one I bought last month) to JojoD when I travel to Manila any time in the next 3 months. These are upscale Sony models (160,000yen each) made in mid '80s but need tweaking from a "21st century DIY master." I could see the parts used were premium types but I'm sure these could stand some improvement with newer electronic components. Alam ko maraming nakapila, but I'm willing to wait - I'll keep one and JojoD could dispose of the two other units.
