Hey all! Hoping to get some advice from the experts as I'm new to mini disc. Saw a listing for an MZ-R700 for $200 new in box/blisterpak. Is this MD worth it? I'm not looking for an end all be all just overall decent player/recorder to start with but I am a little picky on condition and whats better than new right? I'm looking to stay under $250 btw. Thanks!
Sorry I can't help you, they made so many different models of MD I only know a handful and I just buy when I find them in the thrift bin. The 5-7 I've bought over the years have worked perfectly fine, one, I think it's a Sanyo, had a ribbon cord go bad, they flex opening and closing the top and it eventually breaks the wires.
I have one too. Not in box, but it is a great device. Supports MDLP and you don't need a special battery to power it. https://www.minidisc.wiki/equipment/sony/portable/mz-r700
