say it as it is

Hi been suggested I come on the DIY forum for advice or ideas on the art of the possible.
Been offered a naim CD3 powers up but doesn't play correctly not seen it yet so only going in description given.
Fair to say transport issue?
My question here is what is possible with this cd? I like the olive case will match my 72 when I finally get it up and running.
I understand the transport are extremely difficult to find and rarely work when sourced as cheap copies?
So question here is thinking outside the box but with a shoe string budget what could I do with a CD3 ?
Could a more modern transport be fitted ? Could an external dac be utilised?
Could it be nodded to take external power supply and would this make any difference?
Lots of questions I know have never tried anything like this and tend to only stick to OEM spec. But if parts are not available what are the possibilities?
Or better to scrap it and get something more modern?
All thoughts and suggestions welcome
