transformer gone: project or paperweight?

[lowep]

The transformer of my Sony hcd-cp2a CD media player is as dead as a doornail. Replacement power board and/or transformer seems almost impossible to find. But all the other inbuilt components including CD, tape-deck, radio tuner etc are working fine. Is there any way I can salvage for example the CD and use it in another (home-made?) system - or is my only alternative to use the system as an expensive paperweight?
