UMWOOFWOOFF Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Which ones are you talking about the 420's? Really? Why??? They seem the most barebones of the barebones...I thought I overpaid at $10 ha ha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMWOOFWOOFF Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I love the portables...but I truly never use them, so I never got into collecting them. I got my mom and brother and all my friends into minidisc, and gave them a bunch of portables back in the day...I still don't understand what is special about the 420 though! I always picked them up for nothing and gave them to friends so they could play discs I would copy for them on my W1.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 have you ever seen a MZ -E33 ? AA battery , SP only from the front kinda plain , but , flip it over and it looks like a Star Trek device with the button layout . or the E800( I love this one , mine is Orange ( think of the line from Josie and the Pussycats here) . Flip Top Loader , odd bird , but cool , the Charge stand actually locks on to it , and the disc slides in from the Top , really tiny display , and the buttons are on the back . Each portable has it own quirks , they dont have to be outstanding to be special , just the fact that they STILL WORK , makes them so .You see , Sony USED to be "Cool" and the actually had love for the idea , and some of us were in love with that , a company who made something Cool , and loved what they were doing . MD is all that remains of the " Cool " part of Sony ............. and they dropped it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMWOOFWOOFF Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yes yes yes!! I know exactly what you're saying...you hit it on the money. I loved the innovation and crazy stylings of the earlier models...for me the more direct button control the better! I have yet to have any minidisc unit fail that wasn't due to trauma or shipping damage! Not one disc or machine. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
