My garage is a graveyard of old broken auto and home electronics. I have at least 3 CD players whose inject/eject mechanisms have failed because a plastic piece or tab has broken off. I need to just take them all to Best Buy for recycling but keep thinking they’re perfectly good units except for that small broken piece.
It’s not uncommon for the cost to repair electronics to exceed the cost to replace them. If you want to keep it original, you can check with Dealer or aftermarket OEM sources for new or reman units. Or you can get online with Crutchfield and look to see what Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, Sony, etc have to offer. It might cost you a little more than a factory reman unit but they'll come with lots of updated features like Apple CarPlay, GPS,WiFi capability, backup camera capability, etc and they’ll sound a lot better.
