Did they actually decline to service your particular model player ? And
what is the problem ?

I have an old CDP502ES-2 which got a sluggish tray, and noisy in the PSU
department. All it needed, it seems, was a clean and lube in the tray drive
and laser carriage.

I wonder if anyone might know "reputable" service companies that are willing
to work on Sony "ES" CD players that are older than seven years, since the
Sony Corporation claims that they do not keep parts for longer than seven
years.

Thank you very much.

Yes, they actually refused to service it, even though they had me send it to
them, by assuring me that they had all the necessary parts. They even
quoted me a flat fee of $216.
