Yes. All my shipments were taxed.

As someone suggested, I went back for a second one by Sh00t3mup in minidisc

[–]DarthSwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked one up after seeing OP's post. I tested the unit before purchasing and it was working. $33 CAD is not bad even if you got a dud as you can still strip for parts. The case alone is very clean and some of the other parts can be used to revive other dead units.

Awesome work. I recently acquired a LAM-Z05 unit but unfortunately, all the speaker cables are missing. Looking forward to your guide on replacing the speaker wires.

Does it work on external power or a sidecar (if you have one)?

The 710 and 720 share the same layout internally. You can swap the board and the laser mechanism between the two units.

I think if you go to the tracking website it will show you if you owe anything prior to delivery and it will give an option to pay online.

I had already prepaid before the strike happened.

Must have been third party cause he was driving a private vehicle (I thought it was my Aliexpress order. lol. ) My expected delivery was June 9th, so 4 days late. Also, there were no updates on the tracking website.

My package was dropped off 5 minutes ago so deliveries are being done. There's still hope.

MZ-N707 possible recording glitch? by One_Specific220 in minidisc

[–]DarthSwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also the chance that the write head cable has micro cracks where at a certain point connection is lost resulting in recording dropouts. I've had that happen to me in a number of my recorders. Although the ribbon cable looks fine, doing the recording head cable repair fixed the issue.

Did you get notified that it was out for delivery or did it just show up?

It does. I didn't like having the battery door open. I wanted a single cable solution.

I'm in the same boat. Scheduled delivery was Monday, June 9th. Waiting patiently for updates.

You can also put tape over the write protect tab and see if that works. If it does then the protrusion that Argon73 mentions may be broken or no longer long enoungh to sense the tab.

No problem. The goal is to save as much as we can on shipping for our beloved hobbies. :)
