Karmageddon Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 well I must say...I have had the NH600D since the day it came out here in Vancouver BC Canada (nearly 2 years ago) Great unit, but it has seen some minor abuse over the years as it is my primary portable player (hell it has even been dropped on concrete and it still works no issues)The crappy "paint job" in silver is very easy to rub off or have it flake off..You see, I wear a ring on my left hand and thats the same hand I use to hold the device while I walk/jog. After 2 years of holding it like this with my ring rubbing against it, it has actually removed some of the silver finish to show a crappy whitish/blue plastic base. UGLY!I wonder if Sony can repaint the unit for me at an extra charge...It looks pretty beat up. I'll be sure to hold onto my RH1 and keep it just for recording/home use....Does anyone know if it is easy or possible to have Sony or some other "Professional" re-paint the unit so it doesn't look "welfare"?

jaylen Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Not quite sure if Sony would do that, but if they did, I'm sure the price you'd have to pay wouldn't be worth it. (Just for reference, it costs US$100+ to fix older, MDLP/NetMD units and you can buy a new/working one for below that price.) Maybe you can get a case for your silver NH600D instead since it isn't much to look at and you'll have the RH1 to fulfill your MD-staring needs. Good luck.

RobA Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I doubt it, and plus you would have to pay probably alot for just that.Check ebay, 600D's go for under $50 these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGLY!I would pay to take the paint off. All of it. And reveal that 'ugly' plastic base (which I would love a million times more than painted silver).
