  1. This is 100% professional application storage solution.You would have to wait a few years for the price to drop !
  2. Interesting, so the car decks auto adjust when a new disc is inserted?it makes sense that due to the constant vibrations and heat from the car the alignment function was implemented. i wounder if the MD staker units or changers were also self aligning.They have some rudimentary foam padding that provided some good shock absorbtion from the internal case to the 6 disc magazine.
  3. Thanks inquisitor/Jim - email sent. My guess is there are plenty of people who think a quick lens clean will fix any error message...
  4. Thanks guys,forgot about the old yahoo auctions. Much appreciated.
  5. Later this year im planning on visiting Japan for the first time ,as we have been offered free accommodation from some friends.While I am their I plan on visiting akihabara and hopefully I can research a place or two where old gear like the above may be sold. If I can pick up a few units I will offer them in our classifieds section if anyone is interested..
  6. Nice retro review Sergio. I think that sharp really upped their design late in the game, and even surpassed sony in terms of pushing new features, such as their innovative docking stations, use of dolby licencing on their premium models and 4 pole earphone separation. Of course there are many fans of their sound also. If you look at sony's portable history, their design philosophy appears to follow a steady pattern from their first models all the way to their last, where as sharp for many years seemed intent on producing bulky models which were more robust but not as aesthetically pleasing especially in terms of size.Perhaps this was partly limited by their larger battery choice, or by market factors in Japan especially. However they really improved their line up within the early 2000's when their design shifted towards slimmer, smaller and sexier units imo.
  7. Hello peoples, If anyone wants to part with thiers let me know.Im looking at replacing one i lost while on a trip
  8. Hi , how much would you be looking for these ones? - Sony ES 80min. 5-pack brick, individual soft case (sort-of), one available; - Fuji Axia MD Pro 80min. 3-pack brick, two available;
  9. yes thats the one Jim.Honestly if i were living in the Uk i would ship it to you -but the postage costs from australia are eXtreme,and have just gone up yet again. Drew
  10. I have been using the official Sony MD-6LCL cleaner for years with no issues. It has a small soft brush imbeded into the disc on the pickup side only. Riddle me this- On the packaging it warns consumers to never use the md-6LCL in a car MD unit. Anyone know why?
  11. Yes i kinda got that jist from the very unhelpfull service manual (not that its supposed to be read by consumers) however i would be keen to learn the adjustment mode myself, before i give it up to the bay. Update: Looks like im slowly getting somewhere with this- i looked up the service manual of my trusty old mz-r50 (still going strong!) [ wow what a great unit she is ] and can see there is more detail and slighlty better engrish translation. Im surprised no one has ever posted up a sticky on navigating the service manual , as they all seem to adhere to a basic flowchart structure through the whole sony range.* *Obviously with some disclaimer -only as a last resort (dont try this at home kiddies) unless your unit is actually broken,and you would rather not pay the hundred+ $ entrance fee sony charges just to look at the unit ...!
  12. Has anyone attempted making adjustments in either the manual or adjustment modes? The player i have no longer outputs sound from the disc, it still 'beeps' through the headphones (& thru the remote+ headphones) when searching, and the disc spins up but when the track is qued to play, the time counter stays at 00:00, the disc spins but no sound is output. The 'manual' mode appears to allow adjustments to the units functions via range values, from the remote commander,however thereseems to be no reference data table to comply with.. The 'overall adjustments' mode or Electrical adjustments mode requires a digital voltmeter,thermometer, MO& CD disc so im not going into that at this stage. Im no Sony technician, but if anyone has any experience it would be greatly appreciated.
