CD players?

I have a 1990ish Jap import. The CD player used to work with
intermittent refusal to start playing a CD, now never plays at all.
Radio is fine. Does anyone have any suggestions / information about
getting it fixed without spending a fortune?

take it apart and with a q-tip, clean the lense

Mark,
The replacement part is...a new player.
Can't find lasers anywhere for them.

It doesn't exactly match your description, but check out Miata.net for
this very common MX-5 OEM stereo problem...

It may not be your problem, but I bet it helps out a few listers... I
did this fix about five years ago...

CD players don't last much beyond 10-15 years so for $500+/-$100 you could replace the original unit with a much better state of the art cd/tuner...Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood,Blaupunkt etc.etc.etc

Yeah, I saw that, and I have occasionally had that problem too...

(Summary: radio won't turn on. Take it out and connect two leads on
the back. Fixed.)
