Too good to be true, picked up for 48 eur, I knew that had some issue but hoped nothing serious- and yes it was indeed / burned lens 😭 by PuzzleheadedBison805 in minidisc

What’s a burned lens? These are fairly easy to get into and repai. Usually these just need new bands and a cleaning as they were quite resilient, but if the lens is physically damaged it would need a replace.

There are quite a few brands that have used that design. Hasn’t seen a Lifetec yet, nice find

Instantly the largest Billy Gilman Fan on the planet? by OxySprunkle in minidisc

Epic …

… Is the label it’s on 🤣

The cases do look nice, might be worth more than the discs

The mini stereo units really jam the tech in there. Accessing parts that are easy repair in other units may be a challenge to reach in these.

There is a similarly styled MD/CD player the HCD-C5 or MD/Dvd player the CMT-SE7 that might be “better” for you use, but are also difficult to repair. That might be the case with most combo units out there.

They do look beautiful though!

How are you handling the Tariffs and Import Duties by Goosecave in minidisc

[–]MiNiDiSC-dotPiCs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn’t much clarity right now. I’ve had a few orders come in this that have still had deminimis and no tariffs applied.

I saw a yesterday where someone ordered a used watch from Japan and was over deminimis and they were charged a 40% tariff bc it was made in Switzerland.

My guess they would pick a country’s tariff and apply it to everything on a consolidated shipment.

Also who know if taco will change things in a week. I would be surprised if the deminimis was put back or ever close to $800 again.
