kris01 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I have two MDS-JA333ES. I wanted to check what is recording and playing time. For both it shows one hour which is not true. For my all MDS-JA555ES it shows correct. Could anyone check how is it in the other MDS-JA333ES? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 2 JA333ES, all my JA555ES... Wow. Sadly I can only help with my JB980. You don't have an avatar yet, please use this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one for music the rest were for parts, not my fault I managed to repair them. Now is all vintage, isn't it PhilippeC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 For us yes, but some "Vintage Audio" websites think that Minidisc will be vintage ONLY when the LAST unit (2004) will be.... I say that a technology which is not any more sell at least since ten years must be considered as vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 @macaddict77 has several 333ES & 555ES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris01 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I think it is old enough to be vintage. BTW last weeek I sold my almost new JB980QS. Needed place for new ES stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 How much did you sold your 980 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilippeC Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Wow again ! Got mine for 65€ (an audiophile french guy died and his brother decided to sell his brother's audio collection to audiophiles people only at reasonable prices. He just want to be sure that the buyer was an absolute fan of the MD format... then keep it a long time). For 300€, you sold it in a perfect aesthetic condition, with manuals and the box... plus MDs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris01 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 No original box but with manual, remote control and MDS-JB980QS was in excellent condition (20h recording time, 120h playing time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
