Old CD players have no value. Old tape decks about the same. Turntables (not the plastic kind) have more. Amps & preamps (esp tubed) will be the best.

Interesting... I had the Sansui hooked up and thought it sounded better than my Pioneer Elite VSX-41 (110W/channel). I agree that MOST old CD players have no value. Look this one up... it's not your average old CD player.
