Question - reimburse CD player previous tenant

[Stephen Kehoe]

I am posting on my husband's account. We used to own a duplex and live in it with a downstairs tenant. This was sold in July 2016. I just received a call from the tenant (who still lives there) saying that her boombox is no longer working. She believes it is due to some water damage that happened over a year ago in the basement. At the time, the boombox had some water on it, but after airing out, it was working fine. It's a very old boombox. The tenant is asking if we will help her buy a new one (she's elderly, money is tight, at the time she paid $150 for it). On one hand I feel like perhaps we should help her out, but on the other I feel she is just trying to take advantage of us. 

Is there a correct way to handle this? There's no way to know for sure that the boombox is no longer working because of something that happened over a year ago. We also don't even own the house anymore. I am afraid if I send her a boombox she may ask for other things later on. What's the best way to handle this? Has anyone had anything like this happen before?
