I have an old Bose Wave Radio with the built in CD player. Model AWRC-1P. It is starting to have trouble playing certain CDs. It will search and search, you can hear the mechanism, and then, depending on the CD, will play or not. Once it plays one CD it will usually play others until it has been off for several hours. I have cleaned the lens several times but it only seemed to work once, so I don't know if it was a fluke. So I think the laser is failing and I should buy a new one. The assmebly is about 40 bucks delivered so I don't wanna just keep buying parts to see if they are the problem. The CD player has hundreds of hours of time on it so it seems to me a failing laser is probable. Opinions? Thanks, Eric
