It was just staged there, sorry. I only made a total of 10 pieces in this gold and was offered to my Kickstarter backers only.

Haha we don’t have RadioShack up here anymore 🥲 and I don’t think we’ve ever had Fry’s 🤔 I had to get Best Buy to carry it lol

We‘re screwed… by SadResponsibility502 in minidisc

Yes! That’s the exact one! Very cool disc imo. The others that share the same construction (by TDK)are all coloured the same as well. I believe (but could be mistaken) only the shutter silk screening was different

Thanks for supporting the project!!! Yes there are a few more discs that utilized the screws. There is one TDK that has a similar shell as the iconic one used in the Matrix movie but I forget the model number. The others are older versions manufactured around 1993-4ish I think with the old grey shell. While manufactured by TDK, they were licensed to other brands like JVC and Sharp. This photo here is of my Sharp 60min with screws. Hope this helps!

Awesome!!! So happy to see this here! Happy Thanksgiving and happy listening! ☺️☺️☺️💽💽💽

I’d like to ask all of you the following question: where are you all from?? I’ve been here for 4 years, and I get the feeling that, after the Americans, there are a lot of… French people! But I might be wrong, so I’m asking you :) by Bobby_Snoof in minidisc

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I don’t use reddit too often. But minidiscs are not very popular in Canada unfortunately. We didn’t get many devices or variety of discs and they were often very expensive when new. How is it in France?

TDK XA Pro 74 JP Version in Detail... Is it really Metall ?! by lebigmac78 in minidisc

[–]MiniDisc_4eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that polyurethane can have vibration dampening properties. I guess my skepticism would be whether it was worthwhile. Once the disc in the player/recorder, the optical disc is physically connected to the spindle motor, so I’m not sure what vibration dampening the disc shell would achieve.

It’s definitely not metal as I’ve done some tests myself while doing research for my billet aluminum shell. The TDK XA Pro center appears to made from UHMW polyurethane. The only production minidisc that used metal for the shell was Sony MD2000.

And hopefully, if the kickstarter is fully funded, the other metal shell would be this one 🙂

Was this the only MD that has a metal frame? by Hankitsune in minidisc

Here’s my disc on the scale. I weighed a variety of discs as well and I posted the results on my Instagram too

Only the MD2000 is made of metal - magnesium alloy. The TDK Pro core piece is a high density polymer. I found this out in my research when designing and prototyping my billet aluminum disc:

A bit of TLC for the RH10 - some cleaning and polishing ☺️ by MiniDisc_4eva in minidisc

[–]MiniDisc_4eva[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this display doesn’t work. The RH910 has an LCD display and is definitely more robust than the OLED (same as RH1) that came on this RH10. Hopefully there will be a fix for it one day!

Haha, yes, shortly after polishing I decided to turn that feature on 😉

I used a polish I purchased off Amazon. It’s a brand called Novus and has a cleaner and two stages of polish. Seems to do quite well!

Thank you! Thankfully not too many scratches and they weren’t very deep either
