Value of Philips CD-304mkII?

stephensank · 27th October 2007, 04:49 PM

Being a Euro model, I have found little info in the USA on the current market value of a CD-304mkII that I recently acquired, repaired & did some upgrading upon. It's a 220V unit, naturally, and in very nice cosmetic shape, but for a couple of minor corner dings, has the original remote & user manual, and, after a load belt and a simple thrust bearing adjustment, plays EVERY cd and CD-R that I've thrown at it with no trouble at all. I can't remember ever having a CDM-1(or CDM-0?) based unit play cd-r's at all before, let alone my most beat up test cd's, so it strikes me as unusual that this one is so effortless with such discs.
Anyway, if perhaps some of you non-USA members could give me a clue as to the value of this lovely old beast, I would appreciate the input.

Hi.

If you don't want it, send it to me, I do!!!!

Excellent machine with plenty of room for improvements.
Much sought after here in Europe and in Japan.

But do you have any idea of what these machines are going for?

Not untypical of prices I've seen before.
