hi all, had a good find today, local auction house had a Century for auction listed as CD not working, had a good look and although full of dust like everything else here in Thailand seemed pretty clean with no damage
was a large strip of tape holding something on the rear which was a bit off putting but put in a bid a got it for £80, took it home and the radio works fine, sounds really good, speakers are fantastic, auxiliary works with my iPod, the cassette compartment is full of dust so that will need a good clean before testing
the CD loads ok but then stops and displays the pause icon, it could be just dirt and dust as it is absolutely filthy but no damage
peeled the large piece of tape from the rear and it was the wall bracket taped in situ so very pleased about that, also has the handle and aerial attached, the Roman numerals identify it as 1993 I think
any tips on cleaning the lens and other sensors to test it further, the magic doors work perfectly although it's been demonstrated by moving the door by hand so I was a bit unsure if it would still work
very pleased to find something like this here and it will I am sure look great once it's had a good clean
