Looking for specific model of CD player

Good evening!

Good people, I am searching for one specific model of CD player, quite old, from the 80's IIRC, which had display of CD quality - I think it displayed level of error correction used. It was, IIRC, in a form of meter.
Can you remember the model? I think it was Technics, but it might be Sony.
Error 404; signature server not available.

Wasn't there a Cambridge Audio CD player that did that? The CD1, perhaps?

Dear lord, what an ugly player! :) no, this one was, IIRC, more classic design, with that bluish display that was standard with consumer cd players...

Proper British hair-shirt-fi, from an era where physical attractiveness was considered a mortal sin and probably a sign of moral degeneracy too.  ;)

I have no memory of that feature on any CD player, but back in that day I did open up a Sony player and with the service manual found a point on the digital audio board I could probe with a scope and see the error detection action.  I think it was a logic high for detection, logic low for normal.  That signal could have been easily buffered, integrated and metered. 

But back then our problem then was more about some players that were more picky about disc condition than others, and laser aging.  The indicator would have been hyper sensitive and reflect several different causes for bad disc reads. 

Why do you want that now?
