It plays perfectly.

I bought these two CD players from a thrift store today, and both work great.

I got the Sony CDP-C160Z for $15.99 and the Technics SL-P120 for $6.49.

First I couldn't believe my eyes that these things were as cheap as they were and then was equally surprised that both worked great.

I just couldn't leave them there.

I love the 5 cd changer and the fact that I can pair a remote with the Sony, but the Technics just works great.

What is your opinion as to what is the better machine?

I hadn't thought about this thing in years until this subreddit came up in my feed. I purchased this back in 2005 before my daughter was born with the intention to get really decent video quality of her formative years.

The video quality of consumer level cameras was quite bad and I wanted something that would show colors well.

I believe the Sony's at the time were considered better, but Panasonic was a close second. I got the second from the top and was extremely happy with the video quality.

I checked a video one time but the video didn't record properly. I assumed the camera had gone bad and packed it away. thinking it was now defective.

Being recommended this subreddit caused me to pull it out of storage and on a whim I fired it up. I guess the tape was bad because this thing works great, so I'm super happy about that.

I bought this either in 1980 or 1981. I went to the store looking for most likely a Panasonic, but saw that this had a feature where you could skip three songs at a time and couldn't pass it up. It was styled like the boxes from the 70's, and at the time that was a negative because all the new ones had what is now considered the classic 80's look.

It was a decent enough player. Not top of the line but serviceable. Of course boomboxes, or as we knew them back then to be ghetto blasters were really never meant to be top quality anyways. From the little research I've been able to do, this was most likely made by Sanyo. Again, not the best, but a decent budget brand.

I have most of The Beatles albums, but this is my first Paul album. I'm looking to get another one after this. Possibly Ram. Any suggestions on what should be next?

I can't wait to put this on the turntable. Looking at the track list, Space Truckin' takes a whole side? Looks like they had a jam session. Great stuff! I see Child in Time too? I can't wait to hear them.

Amazingly, I'd never listened to this album before, and my daughter kept asking me to get it, so I did. I'd have to say it's an excellent album.

I'm thinking of getting something from Ozzy's solo career next.

This was one of her grails. She had listened to the album in full on Spotify and really enjoyed it. We'd been looking for it for a while since, and wasn't disappointed when I got to hear it for the first time. Really solid entry by Blue Oyster Cult.

I picked this up today for $10.00. This is my third album from them. The first two being Magician's Birthday and Demons and Wizards. I loved those two so I was pretty certain I was going to like this. It did not disappoint.
