Is Sony 555 CD player too old?

[sachs]

I just got a tremendous fiasco at buying a NAD C545BEE CD player that disclosed not only a real bug for the particular unit but for all NAD CD player in the store (NAD C545BEE tracks failure. They got embarrassed and are managing a good end for this history. I was wondering if my practically "brand new" Sony 555, that was considered when bought (arround 25 years ago, I think), almost as the "Cadillac" of non professional CD players, would be a too old component to restore in my system. I know very well that reproducing CD's is someting that changes every two months, but I get very unhappy and nostalgic when I see my old wonder, looking as the first day, already surpassed by less expensive models. Many thanks and friendly greetings. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT "DIGITAL FORUM". Many thanks
