jim.hoggarth Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks for the photos, Sony_Fan. I see what you mean about the logo. I have never seen this before, must be a regional thing. Perhaps it is a major retailer's logo? I assume this is the full kosher US model? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Did you check to see what these fetch in the completed listings? I found about 7 or 8 at the price I expect ($60) and only one ($102) anywhere near your suggested $100. The latter was after an auction with 100 bids. Given that the N10's battery is very hard to get hold of (and may easily cost $40), I would suggest that for $100 you might need to include a new LiIon battery.

Azureal Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not to mention the fact that changing that LiIon battery is nearly impossible for most users to perform. These units are old too, the simple matter of truth is that the original battery is almost certainly near death and it likely hardly takes a charge at all. You also do not have the AA battery side car. I would not expect anything other than lowball offers. Sorry Sony_Fan, this is one of those units which was of great value new but sadly has limited options for portable use after that battery goes ...

Are you sure? I've seen other MZ-N10s with a different logo, and it's black like mine. This has to be from the factory, but I'm not sure what it stands for.

Sorry Sony_Fan, this is one of those units which was of great value new but sadly has limited options for portable use after that battery goes ... The battery does charge and holds a charge. In fact, the owners manual says that if the unit has not been used for long periods of time, several charging/recharging cycles are needed to bring the battery back up to normal capacity. When I plug the battery in to charge, if it doesn't need a full charge, it will charge for 15 min according to the unit display. Sometimes it will charge for 65 min and that only charges the battery up to 80%. According to the owners manual, it needs to be left in the charger for an additional 3 hours after this for a full 100% charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 What you don't tell is is how long you can play (or record) for. The manual specifies 17hrs (8.5 hrs) as the worst or toughest case, being SP play (and SP recording). Without this information the statistics about how long it charges for are worthless. If this battery only plays for 1-2 hours (and this seems likely), a fair price for the unit is no more than $60 as a replacement battery (not to mention the big hassle of fitting it) will be very expensive.

The battery plays for longer than 2 hours even when it has only 1 bar left At full charge (4 bars), it will play alot longer. I haven't used it that much. I just insert a disc with LP2 or LP4 audio and let it play on it's own and see how much battery power is left. Obviously, it does hold it's charge longer during normal playback. When transfering music from SonicStage to the unit, I can transfer about 6 hours of LP2 audio before the unit starts flashing LOW BATTERY. This doesn't mean the battery lasts for 6 hours while transferring, but the length of the audio being transfered is 6 hours. The battery isn't new, but it isn't dead either.

Sony_Fan Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I think your price is reasonable for a machine with a NEW battery. 'nuff said. A new battery is hard to find and not easy to install. I haven't set a price. On ebay, one sold for over $100 and the seller said the battery charges OK, lasts for 60 minutes then needs to be recharged. Of course, it came with the AA battery case, original box and outdated SonicStage software. I don't think those missing items from my sale are going to push it's value way below $100.
