Portable CD players are so extinct by now, that some kids have never seen them. Before burning and ripping became rampant, and even before mobile phones supported MP3 ringtones, this was the must-have for listening to your favourite music on the go.
What you see here was my faithful companion from slightly more than a decade ago. The Panasonic SL-SX510 portable CD player was made in Japan, runs on AA batteries, has an on-board screen, and a nice remote control with its own blue backlit screen (compatible with any standard headphones with a 3.5 mm jack). I was using this on a daily basis during my journeys on the train back in '03.
This CD player comes in the box set (box, manual, remote, earphones, external AA battery compartment). No rechargeable batteries included, since the ones that came in the box obviously don't work anymore. The external condition is pristine, with no scratches or dents. It plays all original CDs perfectly well, but will not play ripped CDs. There is an internal compartment for AAA batteries which doesn't work - only AA batteries will do.
Internal: 8/10
External: 9.5/10
