Arcam Alpha 9 CD Player Fantastic sound but priced to sell due to some minor issues

Arcam Alpha 9 CD Player. Fantastic sound for the price and exterior is free of any significant blemishes, scratches, or defects as far as I can see. I bought this as a demo model and still have the original box and packing, but lost the owner’s manual. I just packed this up today since I have transitioned to a music server. HOWEVER, there are three issues that I need to openly disclose: 1) there appears to be a sub-panel on the rear that holds the rca and digital connectors which is now a little loose; consequently I had to lightly jiggle the rca or digital interconnects periodically (every week or so) if the sound started to cut out; when the sound is coming through, it sounds perfect which makes me suspect it is a relatively minor fix like a loose solder joint but can’t be sure as I was never willing to open it up; 2) the remote control has a similar issue where I need to open up the battery cover, spin the lower AAA battery a half turn without removing it, and then it works; 3) there is some expected wear on the remote due to usage. Due to all this, I have aggressively priced this WAY below the Audiogon bluebook ($650 avg, $500 low) at $250 plus shipping but no paypal fees. I am not really in a rush to sell this, so reasonable offers please. You can email me at [email protected] if you have questions since the new audiogon system is a bit cumbersome.
