I'm considering selling my MZ-R55. It has a problem which I will address first in all fairness. Ocassionally, when you insert an MD it will spin around and around making a clicking noise until finally th TOC will read disc error. This is annoying and is solved by reinserting the disc as soon as you realize what is happening. It's not a big problem, it's just annoying. It is a silver unit in perfect condition physically and the remote is slightly surface scratched, but completely readable from normal use. There is an extra NiMh battery in addition to the original. There are two soft leather cases from Servired cases included (one fits the MZ-R55 without the addtional AA battery pack, the other is longer and fits the unit with the battery pack attached. Both were custom made for this unit and there are two soft leather add ons as well which will each hold two MD's in their cases. The cases are in excellent shape. The original manual , box and AC adapter/recharger are included. It is a U.S. model. The unit is difficult to pack exactly as it was sold, because the cardboard which holds the original accessories is hard to put together the same way it was shipped, but I will include the original box and egg shell packaging. I am asking $ 300 which is a bit much for a used unit that sells new for $ 350, but the battery and leather cases cost an additional $ 100 when purchased. I am somewhat negotiable. I have other electronics for sale as well, mainly a 35 inch Inteq IQ3597 TV. If you don't live in Southern California, don't even bother because it must weigh 150 pounds. But it is a great TV and I recently replaced it with a widescreen Toshiba RPTV. I do lot of titling and reordering of tracks which sometimes wipes out all the names on my MDS-JA20ES. They're still there, but the MDS-JA20ES won't read them so I rewrite them on the MZR55 which is a time consuming process and just involves renaming everything exactly as it was, then the MDS-JA20ES can once again read the new names. I do this because I always label tracks with their current Billboard Hot 100 positions (which change weekly as a song moves its way towards its peak position) and move the "suckier bomb" type songs (known as stiffs) to the back of the disc where they belong most of the time. Often, a song you dislike will really grow on you and also become a hit while others just don't wear well at all, but I keep them on the disc anyway, just in case I want to hear or play them at sometime. (I record an average of 50 new tracks a week to MD counting alternate versions, LP versions, radio edits, dance mixes, etc. This includes only new music, not recent or older music. Because of the name erase problems, I think I would like to buy another Sharp portable with the moji stamp feature and save myself some time in the future by using the same disc over and over just to copy names to before I make my titling edits. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
