@matthewhowell yep. I recently bought my childhood CD player and it wasn't much. Around $80 (USD) shipped to me. I am a big fan of Sharp stuff. I wrote about the one I bought here: https://wp.me/pgrp1-CC
I see you're in Auckland- you'd just have to find ones near you? The shipping on these might be pricey to there? These are just examples.
Another Sharp:
Other good ones are ones like Phillips (this one)
And also this one, a Sony
Obviously just check if they're working, and if you have thrift stores near you or pawn shops, they. might have them too.
