PhilippeC Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 One or two years ago, there was a web site with many pictures of MD units, each one with a wonderful sexy japanese figurine beside. Does anybody has a backup of these pictures ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sescoscuba Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi Philippe, I don't remember very well the wonderful sexy japanese figurines but, photographs of models were rare and equally unusual colours? Plus minus 0 type? It is a bit of time trying to find it myself ... ... Happy New Year my friend Sergio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zokuchou Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I still have link to the Victor units on this site that was: http://www.akiba-gadgets.com/collection_pages/victor_units.htm As you can see the link is dead. There was a user called 'jonathan10000' or something similar (Slugbahr will correct me) who was a regular on AudioTstation and this was his site. The site went dead about a year or so ago. He did reactive it for a time but it is now dead. I did however download all the pics in that time. He had quite a collection. This was the site where I discovered the beautiful Victor XM31 and others beside. However this site (with many others) is now just a memory for those who used to frequent it and as with AudioTstation itself will soon be forgotten as a site that was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zokuchou Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 sfbp - you are correct. Great site BTW - only one downside is that it doesn't always preserve the images. There are lots of captures www.akiba-gadgets.com for but the images are missing for the minidisc collections.

Jimma Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I have a copy of all the images Philippe. I use them as wallpapers on my PS Vita. If you want them, let me know the best way to get them to you. Do you use Drop Box? Alternatively I can post them here if more people want to view them, although I'm not sure what the situation with copyright would be.

PhilippeC Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks all of you. Jimma, the simpliest thing would be as you say to post them in the same topic or a new one (with the good name, akiba, not akira) if somebody find out about the way to get authorised to publish them here. Right now I send you a PM with my e-mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sescoscuba Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi Jimma, may you ship the photos to me? I would be very grateful. Have a nice day Sergio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimma Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sergio could you PM me your email address and I'll sort it out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilippeC Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I got everything with Jimma after creating a Dropbox account, so anybody can ask me to do the same. Or... Stephen - God bless our venerate sfbp - do you think that we can put all these pictures in a new topic base on the akiba-gadgets.com collection template ? http://web.archive.org/web/20100830060637/http://www.akiba-gadgets.com/collection_pages/kenwood_units.htmcontact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sounds like a gr8 idea... can we get bland10000's permission perhaps? There is a gallery feature in IPS. Maybe you can fiddle around and explore it. If we have to pay, we need to know that at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Currently hidden. But available, after some work has been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyMachines Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 If it's OK with Bland, I might be able to mirror the gallery on my site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zokuchou Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 My suggestion would be to create a Picasa site. However the common thread here is Bland10000 and getting his approval. Once you could get in touch with Bland10000 via the Audio T-Station forums. However Audio T-Station is no more so I have no idea how you would get in touch. Recently I wanted to get in touch with 'JohnBabyDisc' (he who created the MDChannel Picasa site) but again with no Audio T-Station forum then this has proved impossible. Both users used to be very active in the MD scene (pre 2010) but I believe both have moved on to other recording mediums and are no longer active. There is a Facebook page for Audio T-Station but neither of them are members. So unless anyone knows the guy directly then I think we will struggle to get his approval.

sfbp Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hopefully he hasn't fallen off the grid completely....The galleries feature (here) is just what we need, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Tommy (aka Bland10000) is a great guy, although it's been a long time since I heard from him. I may still have his email address somewhere. I bought quite few Japanese blanks from him back in the day. He was also the source for my blue NH-3D - he managed to find a brand new one a couple of years after they had gone out of production.

Azureal Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I remember looking through his gallery several times and it was a fantastic collection of MD units with very cool little model girls! Id would be great to see it preserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
