Arcam Alpha 5 CD Player

Loading mech noisy. Replaced dried out loading belt. Checked functionality, plays ok but doesn’t load T.O.C on first try. So selling for spares/repairs…

**************************************************

Dating back to the mid-nineties this vintage budget compact disc player from British company Arcam, is in full working order after the unit has been given a light service to rectify a couple of problems. Cosmetically there are some minor signs of wear – please see photographs. It will be suitably packaged and comes with remote control, manual plus our normal three month warranty.
Arcam Say….
Close your eyes and see the difference between Arcam’s all new Alpha 5 system of hi-fi components and anything else in its price range.
