Hello All,

How is this CD player? We can't find any reviews on it. I saw it on a Flea Market's list for sale for $30.00.

Good machine back in it's day ,about 1990-92 bit long in the tooth now with regards to reliability and spares will be a problem.

I have that same CD player and it is still going strong and sounds great. It is definitely worth the $30 price tag. The quirky thing about is that it has a remote but there is no way to turn it off and on with the remote.

Here is a review of it back from 1996

The Entry Level: August 1996

I've had my 955 for, what, 10 years?

Sounds great, totally reliable – with the exception of a twice-broken belt which opens / closes the tray (fixed twice by retailer for free).

There are certainly better players 10 years hence.

But none for $30... you can't go wrong here, if it's in working condition.

Sorry read the op incorrectly and thought it was the 855 birng asked about.Spares may still be a problem for a 10yr old unit.

If it makes you feel any better, the same applies to the RCD-1072.
