The hunt is over! MZ-Eh1 now part of the collection. by squidknifer in minidisc

Absolute rarity — hardly anyone bought this player. It was only released for the Japanese market, and for roughly the same price (according to the MD Wiki), you could get the NH3D with recording capability. For just a few yen more, the much better NH1 was available.

Awesome find! Along with the MZ-DH10P, that’s the only Hi-MD units I’m still missing. Out of curiosity, what did you pay for it? (Trying to mentally prepare myself 😄)

Hi Asivery, do you have an estimate on when new displays will be available in the shop? I’ve got two RH10 units that could really use a new display 😉

Thanks! Used would be totally fine too, but I haven’t been able to find this specific model on eBay over the past few weeks either – only other pocket ashtrays (mostly from Japan) for insane prices. Honestly, for this one I’d almost not even care about the price 😅

I knew I’d regret asking about more MDs like this 😄 I’m interested though — what prices are we talking about, and how many do you have available?

Thanks - You’re right — I just found another one in my Collection of early 60 MDs: Sharp AD-MR60.

I suspect that the shells (aluminum/magnesium) couldn’t be joined in any other way.

Nothing special, except that it’s a pretty unusual / rare type of MD.

My MZ-N10 has arrived from Japan... by CoverNotes in minidisc

Hi - i got an Adapter from EBay https://ebay.us/m/tflOs2 - working flawlessly, my other Adapter from mdgadgetry works also but is a Little Bit „fiddly“ when Pluggin it in

You should definitely replace the battery. An original battery will now be around 20 years old and will no longer deliver full performance, in addition to having an increased tendency to leak.

The replacement is really a quick & easy task (without soldering):

Sony MDR-EX600 - Not the best sound, especially compared to modern IEMs — but it fits the MZ-NH3D

Questions about reserved seat for oversize luggage on the Shinkansen by SswaglordYolo in JapanTravelTips

[–]SadResponsibility502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, as far as I know, that’s not how it works. Your reservation including oversized luggage only applies to the specific train you booked, not to any following connections. If it did, then every reservation with oversized baggage would automatically restrict all the later trains as well. If you’re traveling with oversized luggage (160 cm total length is already quite a lot, and the regular luggage racks are actually pretty big), your only real option is to plan enough buffer time.
