1998 Pioneer DVD Player spotted at Goodwill, is it worth my time?

[Captainclock]

Hello everyone today after work I found a 1998 vintage Pioneer DVD Player at Goodwill (which is where I work now if you all haven't caught on by now) and its in pretty decent shape yet (no dents or scatches in the cabinet or anything just the Pioneer name plate is a little loose on the front.) I was thinking of picking it up for my LCD Projector as a spare in case the el cheapo GPX DVD player that my parents gave me that I'm currently using on my Projector goes out. I was wondering if its worth my time, I know I had a Toshiba DVD Player from 1997 for awhile but it refused to play burned DVDs (assuming that the age of the unit had something to do with it because of the fact that it was early in the DVD technology and back then they did everything they could to discourage DVD burning) would this Pioneer be the same way or would be of better quality being that its Pioneer?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

By the way I haven't bought the unit yet, I figured I would ask you folks on here first about it before buying it (learning from my mistake I made yesterday with that TV.)
