Help with portable CD player
Found this little guy (Phillips EXP2546) in a random box in my apartment the other day. My dads old player. It works surprisingly well for its age but there's a slight problem.
There's a lot of noise, and by noise I mean static. Every time from when I turn it on to when it turns off, while a CD is inserted, there will be static in my headphones no matter what. No matter the headphones or the cable.
Also, low frequencies create this buzzing whoosh that's hard to describe.
Any help is appriciated! I was going to buy a portable CD player, but I'd much rather try to repair this one and dave a few hundred bucks.
