I have one that came out of My DL that I parted. Has a sticky drawer, but once the disc is in there, you'd never really need to open it. Available for pickup, because really, you wouldn't want to ship a LD player...
These, along with the 2000 version, show-up on ebay from time to time. If you have the choice of using a LDP-2000 verses and 1450 or 1550, I would recommend it. The player is built heavier and I have been very happy with mine (I use them in my DL/SA) with a Hi-Tech card. Seems like DLP mentioned the 2000 as being compatible with the 1450, but I might be mistaken.
