Glad to be back to MD world
So I recently got a MZ-R700 with a remote from a MZ-R55 and 20 new TDK minidiscs, mint condition except the cracked LCD, I also got a MZ-G750, (the radio version of the R700) non working, without the radio/remote to fix the R700, but after some cleaning, lube the mechanism and resolder the IC 302 to fix the output the G750 is working again except some recording issues that need calibration I think. So now I'm looking for another non working R700 for the screen 😂. I also got the original radio/remote for the G750 from AliExpress, arriving soon.
So fun to listen my old MD's from teenage years when I had a silver R700, a Sony player that I don't remember the model and a sharp MD-MS200 that still have but unfortunately the button board failed. Here in Colombia mindiscs were almost unknown to normal people except tech nerds like me, also the equipment were very expensive compared to the cassette walkmans and the CD discmans, (I bought my gear from pawn shops in the early 00's) so when people saw me putting a tiny CD in a case in a tiny recorder/player the first question was: What a hell is that? 😂.
