I’ve got two Samsung DVD-M105 players here, brand new, still in box original, never been opened, dispatched from wholesaler in September 2001 if you want to enhance the experience.
I'm guessing nothing in particular other than being period correct hardware. Would want to check if the power capacitors are still in good shape.
Full bridge rectifier as well
What happens to them?
FWIW the decade of capacitor plague destroyed at least two of my AC/DC Converters. I haven't seen magic smoke since 2010, and honestly know little about it.
