SileEeles Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I need help XD The addiction grows I have found a rather decently priced Sharp MD MT80 on eBay and I'm almost definitely going to get it at this point. It was the first MiniDisc device I ever owned back in the day, bought it from a shop called Argos for around £80 or £90 I think. Maybe even £120 I really can't remember. And I honestly don't know what happened to it. It went somewhere but wherever it went it wasn't with me. I remember coming home from school and recording the first Iron Maiden album from vinyl and being amazed by it all. I think back then I was using TDK Colour discs which Tesco sold. I think at this point, it will be used mostly as a player, I rarely record in real-time, its hassle for me. SonicStage works perfectly on either my N510 or N710 so I just use that.

jim.hoggarth Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Make sure the seller describes it as definitely working. Any possibility of uTOC errors and give it a miss. The majority of Sharp units are famous for this, and getting hold of the part is hard as so many suffer from it (caused by the splitting of a small plastic gear on the sled drive shaft).

SileEeles Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Unfortunately, the listing has gone, I think someone has snapped it up. Oh well. I still have other things to be getting, so its not a total loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjollo Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 OH I would go for a Sharp md-mt88/99 if u can get one. I bought 3, from Argos like u, long time ago and still on the first one - the silver surface of the metal is now very very worn & silver off the buttons, but works perfect. - MDLP, optical in, mic in, uses AA battery , can use rechargeble AA and can charge in situ & has a nice clear display. and very easy controls & basic remote. Dont know if jim hoggarth's comments apply to this model but I have some good ones it seems. http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sharp_MD-MT88+MT99.html eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHARP-MD-MT99-MiniDisk-player-recorder-portable-with-extras-/261255222016?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_MiniDisc_Players_Recorders&hash=item3cd4065300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim.hoggarth Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 If the Sharp MD-MT80H is what you are definitely looking at (bear in mind it is SP only), then I have a complete boxed unit in *very* good condition. It didn't cost me too much either, so I could let you have it at a good price. Send me a personal message if you are interested. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
