Sony RCD-W3 Single Deck Playback – See Description
$45.00
Sold as-is, and here is why: the left tray’s laser has failed, so it will not record and will not play from that side. The right tray still plays CD, CD-R and CD-RW, and the digital outputs, analogue outputs and headphone jack with level control all work. That makes it a working CD player, a repair project, or parts. No returns, no warranty.
