raintheory Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Share what your MD recorders, discs, etc. have been through. Particularly if they are still workinjg properly.. But also as a memorium to the ones that didn't make it.MZ-N707 - Took a flight down a set of about 15 concrete stairs within 10 minutes of purchase...MZ-NH900 - Fell from approx 6 feet onto the sidewalk... Bent battery compartment lid... Easily fixed.MZ-RH10 - Decided that it wanted a nice bath of orange soda.. Cleaned up nicely after I recovered from a few minutes of heart failure.All units still work fine.

Shozzer Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 MZ N1 dropped whilst changing disc. Damaged and repaired... Plays fine but whenever you try to edit, it deletes the contents of the disc. Consequently I handle my NH900 with a bit more care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I've got my NH900 since december and I've dropped it once, from about 2.5cm/1inch onto the table... and that really is the ruffest I've treated it ever it hardly ever leaves it's caselogic or lowepro (depending on the occasion and accessories I have to carry) bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 My E710 fell off of an airplane tray table once, other than that, all my MD units have been pretty safe.All my units are pretty much in pristine condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 My NH600 has quite often flown several feet acroos the room from its perch on top of my PC tower, due to me tripping over the USB cable. It's still working fine, a great sturdy unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdiotSavant Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Aiwa AM-F5 - dropped and dinted the lid. It was mostly fine afterwards, except for having issues saving changes in track names.Sony R700 - put it into what I thought was my inside pocket, and dropped it on the floor. The lid bent and it never quite played properly after that Sony N707 - kept it in mint condition, but as a consequence of walking to school and back twice a day with it in my pocket (along with my sweaty hand) a lot of the paint rubbed off.All my units since then have been kept in mint condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 No serious abuse yet since i use them only ocassionally and virtually exclusively for recording. I treat non-mechanical mp3 flash players way less carefully (they've been built for rough use as opposed to the rather delicate MD technology).LOL @ KJ.
