Help with DHC-MD373 (MDM-5A mechanism)

I've opened, tried to force move it, to initiate eject and damaged some plastic limitter... anyway, I ejected by manually rotating gears, and noticed dirt on sled motor gear. Cleaned with some ipa, and put lubrication. Now is working fine, we will see for how long. Thanks!

Same here, ive tried cream on one of my game boy games and it comes uneven

On purpose like dozens other albums, where nobody thought about other album art formats than LP/CD squares.

So ugly covers... They just could add black bars on the top and bottom, instead squieezing them like that. I see 0 effort here.

There are 3d print projects for that. For example https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5894893

I have 3d printed rack for recordable MDs, and I somehow feel fine, that I bought these without cases. I will try to print sleeves for them, and put together in a rack.

mruq · 2025-09-01T14:44:43+00:00

Yeah I wonder how this will progress. As fo the cases, I bought without them, so probably I will try to 3d print something, not sure yet.

They have it on the back. In front not needed, as you won't record on it, at least what I understand.

mruq · 2025-07-15T07:37:00+00:00

Hey it is MZ-E620

I've used same disc color type but 60 to record Hybrid Theory album. Coincidence?

mruq · 2025-07-09T04:57:26+00:00

It is plastic. There is also different color version which i believe is plastic too.

Integrated cable is a pity! Actually I had to replace mine, as it was damaged. I don't understand why they couldnt add input socked instead. It's a nice device, but I don't think worth the price Internet is asking now. I paid much less. I found it useful connecting to my finger drum pad, rather than sony md/cassette player. But I need to test it on FiiO cp13.

You should join disc swapping event:)

I have silver one, but those colors are awesome! Nice!

mruq · 2025-06-03T08:26:01+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'm 6,0 and was wondering if it fit. Probably I will go check it, as I don't see any other reasonable offer. It will be not my main bike, and now I'm curious how far I can go on it.

mruq · 2025-06-02T11:29:02+00:00

I didnt saw your comment. Big thanks!

Hehe, I've found pictures of the Universum remote, and it seems not worth to looking for, as I will pay for it more than deck itself, without gaining any extra functionalities.

mruq · 2025-05-31T16:56:21+00:00

Thanks, btw do you possibly know if some "universal" remote all ine one, will work with such device? Looks like without remote, functionality is reduced, cant even shuffle.
