Looking for IM-DR80 accessories (dock and remote mostly)

[syn010110]

So I have obtained one of these Sharp MD recorders but unfortunately the seller claimed the accessories were included and they were not. Without the dock I can't do much of anything with this (no optical in, no line in, no NetMD transfers) except live record via mic and listen to already recorded discs. Without the remote I can't do anything at all except play discs.

Anyone have any ideas where I could find these things? Long shot, I know.

I have some spare - but I'm in Australia. Postage overseas starts at 15 bucks.

Let me know if you're interested.

I am interested. Back when MD was still a thing and I was pretty involved in it, I always wanted a DR80 but never could afford to have one imported (I had a secondhand DS8, though, and loved it), so it was kind of a super nostalgia thing when I caught this one on eBay.

If you could take a few photos (color isn't important to me, but my DR80 is silver) so I can have a look...

[syn010110]

Bump. Anyone else might have these things?

Or at least another recorder that I can possibly buy and use until I can get ahold of the other parts? Preferably something with NetMD as well as recording via optical.

HI

i got another blank IM-DR580 in black. The seller tried to convince me there was never a charger or something like the dock that came along with it.

So what finally happend is i got 2 complete ones blk and grey and one is still waiting for its dock.

SO i would gladly take another dock in black is someone is coming up with a 2nd one.

Still looking for a dock and remote, or barring that simply a remote. I can't disable bass boost without it! D:

Did you contact Danny?

[syn010110]

I sent him a PM, but we never got anything arranged. Maybe because of the holidays?

[slugbahr]

Yeah, sorry - combination of holiday period and bad health.

Haven't been able to find the time to go through all my stuff and figure out things for you.

I absolutely have what you need, I just need probably a week or so to pin things down.

Really sorry to take so long.

No worries! Send me a PM when you get everything located. I've spent some time trying to find remotes online, but mostly I just find Sony remotes (and likely because they were also used for PCDPs as well as MD units). I did manage to get some recordings so I could give the DR80 a good test--it works very well, but it sounds like the previous owner had put bass-boost to full! (Really wish I would have found a DR77 instead of a DR80, heh).
