Toploading CD transports recommendations

I am looking for a toploading transport, ideally not more than $1,000. Does such a thing exist? I am tired of failing CD drawers.

If you can find one, I recommend it. Though I also have a Musical Fidelity M1 CDT transport, and I think it sounds better than the Stello. It's slot loading.
