Definately worth fixing up. It must have been used alot because XA7ES is a
non-moving laser block design and would takes decades before it start to
play up. I have and still own most of Sony CD flagship models ( X7ESD,
X77ES, X777ES, XA5ES and XA7ES ). I sold my XA7ES last year and although my
vote is for X77ES - being Sony's best work ever- but XA7ES is an great CD
player which you will have a hard time finding something better.

Cheers
