The Low Volta Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) I only know of the MZ-NH1 which is 1st gen Hi-MD and it's body is magnesium (but could easily be mistaken for aluminum)...but obviously I'm talking about a different model so ignore this post please Edited March 2, 2006 by The Low Volta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrain Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 well i have one right on front of me & thought they were metal, although it is a very plastic-y, so you've got me doubting it too.perhaps someone else can settle this for us?

If it was metal I would easy repair it.But case made from heat resistance plastic, I try to correct it with hot air (from soldering station about 200ºC) - no result.I afraid make more temp. I don't need MD-burner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xatax Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) LOL, all N1's are magnesium, the only plastic parts are buttons, display, leds, swtiches and the battery hatch. Period. (that's why you can't "correct" the N1 with 200º, be careful as magnesium bursts into flames with more temperature ) Edited March 6, 2006 by xatax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbaldguy Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The body shell of the N1 is made of magnesium, similar to that of my R910 and NH1's. Feels a bit plasticky, but is a metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
