What's your budget? Do you need anything more than just the unit?

No white or pink ones?? That's racist!

Blanks for collection? Or recording? Both? How many silver EH50s do you have?! 😉

Just tried reposting a pic in here which I put in another thread earlier today. Same error message.

Speak for yourself, rookie! 😉 😉

The uncracked one seems level still.

Of the 6 in the pics, 4 are on the recording/reading side. I would assume they would have problems. The other two you can see are 'visible' from that side, but they are still smooth to the touch, so I dunno. I have seen pictures with stickers attached to the actual discs, then placed back in the case - I assume they still played as normal, so I guess it's possible. Takes a bit of effort to remove and replace discs without damaging the case though. Also, for some reason, the surfaces and materials I've been engraving seem to curve a bit as a result 😢 especially cases I have cracked open. As to why I have so many ... I used to get bulk lots of discs from Japan auctions, in search of designs I like. Sometimes, those discs have been through Gojira rampages, I reckon. Or the stickers are messy to remove etc etc

On a less serious note ... I got myself a portable laser engraver earlier in the year, for funsies https://www.laserpecker.net/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1ouKBhC5ARIsAHXNMI9kKZG5I2NiL0EopbPmgtg5eaFc2VsUSK_68WV3mPhpH9tz9pDq1u0aAt7NEALw_wcB Amongst other things I've used it for, I've recently been burning MD related designs onto the discs themselves. It won't do the surface normally because they are reflective, so I coat it first with various colored makers or paint pens, then wipe them clean. Sometimes the colors remain embedded into the engraving. I will post more things over time - maybe make a separate thread at some point.

Yes, I am weird. Very weird.

A portable laser engraver, some different colors of markers, and a few dead discs ... Same power settings, but one surface "burns through" to the other side, but not the other.

Maybe reinvented the original one 😉

Nice! Would you mind posting a pic of a standard disc/case for scale? You have some friggin awesome promo stuff!!

How many does that make now 😉

So you're saying you kind of don't want it?? 😉 😉 😉

This is one I prepared earlier 😉 As you can see, the discs in the "frame" can be rearranged, replaced or just plain removed.

I have no idea why the pics are sideways 😞

The promised pics!

Have you NO imagination??!!!? 😉

I've recently been using some of my dead discs to make containers/storage units. I have too many (but sil not enough) discs and LOTS of sticky tape hehe Might upload pics some day ...

Get more! I'm sure you could offload them for a decent price eventually. Ah yeah ... the grey one. Neither dark, nor light. Or easily available 😉

You should get the listing of 5 black and white cutipops in similar wrap to offset shipping costs. And a pack of benetton too! And ... and ... and ...

There are a couple of blue ones available on Yahoo auctions Japan atm. Two listings, both a single blue in pack, both 2,500yen. The shutters have 74 on them, while the red and white are blank - that's weird!

"That pack" 🤤🤤🤤 By street scenes, do you mean traffic lights? Were you a lucky enough (and now regretful) bastard to see things during their retail existence???

Out of all the Bit Clubs you know of, you mean 😉

That is unfortunate 😢 and yeah, that's the one. I like calling it the book club one cos it's a book, in the bit club series 😉 I actually used to have one, but traded it to a far better collector than I.
