choudy Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi - long time lurker. Unfortunatly i was careless with my mz-rh1 and i pulled off the jog dial. The whole piece is missing, Is there anyway t get this repaired? Is there any company that does this type of repair, I gather it could be pricey. any help would be gratefully appreciated. I have been using this for years to record bird sounds for my work (biologist) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choudy Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 no i lost the jog dial. It got pulled off while i was moving and i did not realise untill later. Shame - i thought there might be some type of repair service from sony but have been unable to find one for mini discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjollo Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 You really shouldnt be using such a recorder as a field device I think, too valuable and unique, where the cheapest of the cheap would probably do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 The unit still have a spare parts value if choudy cannnot find himself another "spare parts" RH1 . freddyfolio you are right, a cheaper Hi-MD unit would have been better for field recordings.

choudy Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 i use the minidisc for recording bird calls in a lab. its actually property o the university (but my name is on the grant) so i probably can caim to own it. One of pHd students bought it many years ago at a local shop - it wa only when it brokee that we found out about how expensive it i. ery odd becuase i remember authorising the purchase and at he time it only cost us 160 pounds - so its strange to see howmuch people are selling them on ebay for now! I may retire it if it cant be fixed as it does have a sentimental meaning to a few of my students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 It's always fun to hear stories of how folks use their MD devices, thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrockaddict Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I use all of my RH1 for concerts and so on. That is what is intended for .. I could not use any other Walkman because of the display showing me the levels in a dark enviroment. But its really nice to know what others use it for. reading about ppl recording bird calls is the first time for me ;-) Nice though.. I could take a look if i got a spare Jog but i don´t think so. And i guess there is more to be replaced then just the visible part of the Jog if it broke that way. Ive never heard of that before.. If youre in the need of another recorder i could get you one.No problem as i got some ( lets say plenty ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
