All functions work no issues. Chassis has some wear consistent with age
At US$120, this sits just above the median used asking price of US$115 and well below the 75th percentile of US$228, so it reads as a fair buy rather than a bargain or an ask to negotiate hard. For a well-kept ES-series Sony carousel changer, that’s reasonable money if it’s been tested and the tray, loading, and all five disc positions work smoothly.
This model is appealing for anyone who wants late-90s Sony build quality, easy multi-disc convenience, and a sound profile that’s generally respected for being solid and unfussy. The real upside is practical: a clean, complete unit can be a very satisfying daily-use changer, especially if the remote is included and the laser is still strong. At this age, I’d want confirmation it reads discs reliably and that the carousel mechanism is quiet and consistent.

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.
