Hi yehlai,

Where can get cdm1 mk 2 new now? 20 years ago maybe.....
U may try to look for eBay for used ones. It's rather hard to get nowadays ...
Good luck,

I didnt realized i was discontinue for such long time, sorry for my ignorance. I guess now i can only hope my CDM1 will not die in near future, or until i get a new cdp.

Cdm1 can last up to 10 or 15 years the r hardly die. Ones died it's hard to be replace...

CDM1 is that durable?
anyway, i saw an used unit, but its not cheap, approx Rm800

Its reputated to be one of the best cd mechanism ever built by Phillips since they started building cd players. They almost never die. It would never be cheap since its almost impossible to find them. Even if you wanted to ' potong ' one out of any old players you would still have to pay that much of more. But CDM 1 and CDM 1 Mk II is not the same at all. THe latter is more like the CDM 2 or 4 in a die cast metal casing.
