PhilippeC Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I use to go one time a week to Nhat tao Electronic Market in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) where one can find hundreds of MD boomboxes, bookshelves and some decks... If I find it, I contact you. WHY SPECIALLY THIS ONE ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeno Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi Philippe ! Thank you very very much for your reply ! It would be just awesome if you can find one, I'm ready to pay for the shipment any time ! I'm looking for this model because it was my studio boombox for many many years, and after mine burned out, I can't find one anymore. I tried different boomboxes, but it really looks like I'm used to this model. Lookinng ahead to hearing from you.

PhilippeC Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Okay, I have already visited twice this market and I did not find it.

PhilippeC Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Is it true in that market we can find those item? Yes ! There are hundreds of those boomboxes and quite many with MD (from 30$ to 140$). Few decks (around 100$), some bookshelves (around 70$) and very rare walkman MDs (around 70$... rather twice the e-bay price). Those are foreigner price (first offer)... What do you have in Malaysia ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have in Malaysia ? Wahh..Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur ) is not that far to Ho Chi Min city. Here we got budget flight to Vietnam only cost around USD 50 return. I might go there since you said thats a lot of MDs...I need to find some bookshelf or probably a deck too. So far I buy MDs from ebay UK. What we got here in Malaysia? None. I wonder a lot of Sony MDs was made from Malaysia those days and and their factory was very near to my house (walking distance!!) but currently is so very dificult to find any collectors from Malaysia. Last time my luck I get this from their factory.. silver colour without cradle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time my luck I get this from their factory.. silver colour without cradle. That's what I want. My son was in Japan for almost 2 months and didn't get around to looking for me, the brown EH930. Sigh. So the Malaysia operation is now closed? That SURELY means there will be no more RH1's when they run out of supply. How about seeing if someone is selling off the recording (ribbon cable) or even complete main mechanism assemblies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said Sony no longer making / produce audio stuff here in Malaysia. Sony Malaysia now more concentrate on their Bravia Series. EH930 is very dificult to find. Last time they sell in bundle but only silver colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 In Nhat Tao street, it is easy to find MD boomboxes and less easy MD bookshelves. For a deck, it is a little bit more difficult - I have noticed less than 10 - and they have only old ones (non MDLP) or 110V ones. Huynh Thuc Khang Street Market in first district is also a good place to find bookshelves (one shop specialized, price higher than in Nhat Tao but a good choice), MD blanks and the lasts & expensives second hand MDLP players/recorders... So sad, I missed a MZ-EH1 (210$) just because I was not aware of its rarety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilippeC Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I live in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh). I am french. Sure, I am always on the run to find any good place about audio stuff, specialy minidisc. I forget to say that there is no Hi-MD disk in Vietnam, only 80mn discs.

ElanDi Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thanks PhilippeC, I try to browse those model and match it via minidisc.org model browser, seems its very tough. Got 1-2 model from JVC (boomboxes) and bookshelves from Sony. The best thing i think those models are old model so definately their sounds are superb! Looked at the pic, hows the condition actually? The just display it outside of the store. I can feel a retro enviroment around there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The just display it outside of the store. I can feel a retro enviroment around there! THe boomboxes are systematicly restored as you can see on a picture (many shops do that). But that does not mean that everything will work correctly or for a long time. They restore basic and vintage high end HI-FI 70's to 90's audio in the same area. Many shops also for electronic accessories. They is even a little shop selling genuine Van Den Huul cables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElanDi Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Well if the price are acceptable, i think i might get one there. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Well if the price are acceptable, i think i might get one there. What do you think? So, just book your plane ticket.. For example, I ask the price for the boombox Sharp MD-F100, http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sharp_MD-F100+F15.html : 27$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy a Sony ZS-M3 (M5?) here in Nhat Tao street for 30$ ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
