So, bought an old cdx, thankfully took it to a friends shop today to test it before investing the money in the cables/power/controllers. It kinda works but mostly doesn't lol. It turns on either via plugged into the wall or AA batteries. But most of the time the cd doesn't spin. The few times it DID spin however it played an audio cd (carrie underwood, woot) for a few songs and then randomly would stop spinning again. So either it kinda works or just wanted to hear her new cd. I don't do repairs/mods on electronics (not my forte) but I'm betting people here do. I'm open to trade/buy offers as I'm not entirely sure what to ask. Only found 2 completed listings online for dead cdx systems and they went for more money than I would have suspected. PM/Bump this if interested. Thank you.
