A few of you how I like MiniDiscs, and know of my transformed GF9191HB into a MD player (I have added -made- a silver 9191 as an MD player, last time I was in France) and my GF9595 MD/Cassette player ibrid....

Well, going through Yahoo Jap I saw these in the MD sells section (I do NOT EVER recall seeing anything like these in Europe or heard or seen of any in the Americas)... I know the Japs were way more for MiniDiscs than our side... So they may not have been exported (made for the rest 0of the world.... ... or Very, Very few).

Here are some links borrowed from the sellers (please do not copy pics to make public outside of ST2G and Yahoo Jap):

This one is ALMOST good:

This one, by Victor, could have been perfect if it had been a little more "Box" (I am not sure if it is portable, if it has a handle and a battery compartment):

There are a few more...

But, I can hardly wait when Sharp puts its latest GF on the market.... The GF 9393 (iPod Mini Disc iBrid!!!!!!).... We just need to wait!

The Good Guys in the USA carried a Sony mini disc boombox in the mid 90's, it may have been the one in your pic but it's been so long I'm not sure.

I wouldn't be prejudice against the panny... I like it!

Thanks for the look...

i wouldnt mine getting something like that as i like md too

Didn't Victor make a Kaboom(ish) MD box (no batteries, but with carry handle)?

Du-no?

Yup. The RD-MD5. Pretty sure it came both as a Victor for Japan and JVC internationally.

Yap.... Close look-a-like to the Kaboom!
