I was waiting until someone else independently confirmed this without prompting from moi.

Sony MZ-R90 Silver : It works pretty good .... It will charge , Play and record , but the internal battery contacts are a little rough even after cleaning ( a battery had leaked inside) Has Remote , Buds , Battery Sidecar

This one Charged the Topland NiMH without a problem ( Surprised me ) !!

I found out quite by happenstance (I don't say "accident") that my R-91 has one incredibly useful function - charging NiMH gumstick batteries. Yes, I love the feel and look and sound of the R91, but it does only play std disks, of course.

It was after charging in this little beastie that more than one of my batteries magically revived. Yes, one of them did expand but not so much I couldnt get it out... and after that worked perfectly.

Hope y'all find this useful. I understand R-90 and R-91 are internally the same model (the service manual is jointly for the two).
