Got a CDP-101 April 1 1983 for only $750 which was $150 below list.
Saw them a month later in Dallas selling for $1100. The CDP-101 gave
up the ghost and looked to be having fractures in tracks on the PCBs.
The main problem I've seen with the CDP-101 (the 2 I've worked on) has
been the STK ICs used to drive the lens (focus and tracking), and the
sled and drawer motors. On both players, the lens would start
chattering soon after it was turned on. One sometimes ejected the
disc while it was playing. The ICs are impossible to find, but I was
able to substitute an LA6510 power op-amp.
I DO have a 20 year old CDP-302 fully functional which has the most
outstanding sled servo I've ever seen. It uses a linear motor - no
gears - and is FAST to search anywhere on a 60 minute disc in 1
second. Works great after you clean out that garbage Sony oil and
replace it with synthetic Nye oil 2. I also remove Sony lube from the
300+ Sony VTRs we have at work.
I have a slightly newer Sony with the same linear motor system.
Technics, and even Fisher made some players like that too.
