Yeah, I think CSW is basically dead.

As far as the cd player, mine didn't play either. The guy at the second hand store cleaned the laser lens with an isopropyl alcohol wipe (and he wasn't shy about really rubbing the lens and assembly). The cd player started tracking CDs again. I was surprised it worked, but the unit was pretty dusty.

Make sure the cd is clean too... This is not some high end transport or anything.

I'd you need to replace the assembly, there's a video of some dude fixing a broken cd door... Looks like the entire assembly just slides out.

I don't really use the cd player... The fun thing is to connect a $12 mpow streambot to the aux in and use your tablet or phone. I have a Spotify premium account and it's not only convenient and fun, but sounds surprisingly good. Especially after tweaking the Spotify eq.

I'll tell you this much, even with my main stereo out of service (one McIntosh MC60 has a bad input cap), the model 88, loaded on the corner of our living room still managed to piss off our upstairs neighbor. The thing Bumps! Lol!

See ya
