Panasonic CD player - sometimes reads discs, sometimes doesn (Malin Bridge S6)

Nice CD player and I like it but sometimes it refuses to read a CD and sometimes it reads first time and then plays. Someone is welcome to take it and maybe either fix it or just endure it and hope it plays sometimes. I would rather that than for landfill. Can't afford to fix it and don't want to attempt it and make it worse and invariably it ends up in the dump.
