Vintage Sony CDP-C900 10-Disc Automatic Changer CD Player Japan SERVICED ✅Player is in excellent used condition, having been serviced by myself personally. When I first acquired this unit it seemed that the loading mechanism was running a bit slow, so I replaced the drive belt responsible for its movement, and gave the player a general cleaning while I had the bonnet off. I cleared out any loose dust or debris that was floating inside the units housing, and cleaned the laser lens with isopropyl alcohol. Now the player is able to easily load, track, and play a CD that is loaded into any of the 10 slots on the magazine. All buttons are appropriately responsive to their designated actions, display screen shines brightly when the unit is on and running, and power chord is void of any tears or frays along the length of the cable.Player is in nice shape cosmetically, showing minimal signs of age-related wear around the exterior. No notable points of damage inflicted along any edge or face of the units metal housing or front display. Unfortunately this player does not include any remote control, but will be shipped with a set of stereo L/R RCA's as shown in the listing images. Please see all pictures closely for details of condition, and specifications of the item.I specialize in shipping electronics such as this, and can guarantee that every precaution will be taken to ensure safe delivery of your purchase.

US$149 is fair to slightly attractive for a CDP-C900, not a steal. The hard anchor here is the original Japan launch price of ¥49,800 in 1989, and current comparable Sony CD changers in the used market often sit around the US$100–US$250 zone depending on condition, so this asking price lands near the sensible middle rather than at bargain-bin level.
What makes it worth a look is the classic Sony multi-disc changer appeal: these are well-liked for easy, low-fuss library listening, and the C900 sits in the desirable vintage ES-era orbit with good build and a genuinely collectible feel. At this age, the real buy/no-buy checks are mechanical: smooth tray/magazine loading, reliable disc read, and a working remote if included. If it’s clean, complete, and fully functional, US$149 is a reasonable enthusiast price.

Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
