For Sale: Sony MDS-E12

[raintheory]

I am hoping to sell my Sony MDS-E12 Rack-Mount Professional MiniDisc Deck. It has been used in a non-smoking environment (the boarding school I work at), as well as my home studio (also non-smoking). The deck is is great condition and works perfectly.

I love the thing to death, but I don't get much use out of it currently. Also, I am interested in getting into flash-based recording and getting an Olympus LS-10 to try out. I am NOT ditching MiniDisc. I have plenty of units, and mainly I want to get something to use for random things so I can reduce the wear on my RH1.

It has a bunch of cool features, including:

- Balanced XLR In/Out

- Unbalanced RCA In/Out

- SPDIF Coax In/Out

- MDLP Compatible, Atrac Type-R

- Parallel & Serial Remote Interface (I have the Pinout documentation from Sony in PDF format)

- PS/2 Keyboard Connector

- Date/Time stamp

- RAM EDIT (allows editing in-memory copy of MD-TOC without updating disc)

I figured I'd post here to give fellow forum members a chance to get it before I list on eBay. I am looking for ~$350USD, though I will consider reasonable offers. If it gets to eBay I will most likely list it for a good bit more, though I may give discounts for contributing members here. On eBay, the MDS-E10s (a step down from this MDS-E12) are selling for upwards of $400USD. I will most likely move this to eBay within a week.

I'd prefer to ship within the continental USA, but feel free to ask if you are somewhere else. Buyer to pay actual shipping & insurance (I haven't weighed it yet).

I'll post some pics if interested. I am selling just the unit itself, I do not have the wireless remote for it.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

She goes to eBay after the weekend is out. I will waive shipping if you win the item via eBay and have been a member here for at least 6 months.

EDIT: Here is an MDS-E12 currently listen on eBAy: http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-MDS-E12-PRO-MINI-...1QQcmdZViewItem

And two MDS-E10's: http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-MDS-E10-MINIDISC-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Just to give you an idea of the price range once this gets to eBay (though I'll still probabaly list for less).

EDIT2: I'll gladly throw in a handful of unopened Sony NEIGE discs (74 min), and also a PS2 keyboard if wanted (useful for controlling the unit and titling).

Today is the last chance on this... It's hitting eBay tomorrow.

Thanks!
