Saw this on ebay just now, one of the very first CD players to hit the market.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HITACHI-DA1000-1st-GENERATION-CD-PLAYER-/201134505186?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_CDPlayerSeparates&hash=item2ed48cfce2

Never seen one before.

I have absolutely no connection with the seller.

No, it's not got a digital out RCA socket.

Be careful: a friend had one when they came out and when we took a peek inside (engineers, eh?) there were more trim pots than we'd ever seen before. I'd be surprised if you can find a sample that works perfectly as the circuit is clearly not self-adjusting.

Have we any TECHNICS SLP-1200 CD PLAYER owners on here ?

There is a seller on Ebay selling 4 (four) in one auction, all needing lasers.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231290070173?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I always fancied 1 (one), but not 4.
