Very nice vintage player quality made in Japan. It has some cosmetic flows as pictured. Works great, sounds amazing.No remote or other accessories included. Priced accordingly.
US$60 is fair-to-good, basically in line with the going used market for this changer and not an aggressive ask. Comparable listings put it around US$65, while a fresh retail-style offering has shown up at US$47.99, so this sits just above the low end but still comfortably reasonable.
It’s a solid late-era Sony 5-disc carousel: convenient, built for everyday listening, and appealing if you want that simple load-and-play vintage CD experience. The upside is best when it’s clean, fully working, and includes the remote, since that makes a big difference on these older changers. At this price, I’d mainly want confirmation that the drawer, disc loading, and all five positions behave properly.

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.
