Around here, the Magnavox present-generation player (model 3040, the
same as Philips 304 in Europe) is commonly available for under $250,
and has been sold extensively at $199.  While the Emerson is an
unknown, the Philips machine has been acclaimed here and abroad as one
of the best sounding units available, with a proven reliability to boot.

And if that's not cheap enough, some stores are selling the first
generation Magnavox players for $100 to $150.

I know at least a half-dozen people with these players, all satisfied.
