The audio cassette deck may be tough. I have bought DVD players for as little as $40 (still waiting on the rebate though) on-line and seen same in stores on sale. For that little money I can't complain. I now have 2 DVD players and 1 burner. My first CD player was a GE, no remote, single tray, on sale at Federated for about 3-400 $$$ or so. It died wanting for nothing more than a belt. p.s. Have you cleaned your lens on the old player? Joe Salerno Video Works! Is it working for you?
