I have a net md and plans to get a himd, but I've been wanting one of the classics for a while. Picked this up from a friend for 40 dollars a while back. The battery is dead, so I'm going to pick up 2 NH-14wm off ebay with one of the dual chargers, I figured ebay is the cheapest place for these. About 20-25 bucks shipped for all of it. I like the remote a lot, but it seems like it significantly reduces battery life, has anyone else found this? Maybe there's some technical info about how much power it uses. I also have plans to pick up an mz-r900 from another friend for less than 50 bucks. I just love the older units, don't you? I'm 22 years old from St louis, missouri.
