Thanks Mike,
Don't get me wrong, I know it wouldn't work. I'm asking if that particular transistor has anything to do with the CD player. For example, if it was for the coins, I would still be looking for another problem causing the CD player problem.
As for driving, it does tire me out, but at least they pay for the whole trip both to and from.

Hi, Tony:
I'm not familiar with this juke, and, of course, have no schematic, but having a NPN transistor where a PNP belongs is definitely not good. It might now be shorted, and might have taken out other components. Sounds like maybe take a couple of each type with you. Good luck. I hate the ones that are a long drive as well. Getting too old. I've been telling people, if you can't bring it here, I can't work on it.
Good luck
Mike

Someone got to this before me. I have no idea what may have been wrong or what has been done, except this. The CD player acts like it's typical failure symptoms, but it tests good and a different known good one doesn't work. All the flaky BC337's (it's in the serial number range), they were all replaced with 2N2222's. But transistor Q15 was also replaced with a 2N2222 which is a BC327 NPN not a PNP BC337
Could that one transistor cause the cd player to not work? I'll install a replacement, but the juke is over an hour away, so I'd like some idea if that one transistor could have been the problem or if I'll have to dig deeper.
