Sony MDS-JE520 Mini Disc Player

Whenever you want a decent item, it's either discontinued, out of stock, or too expensive.
Very rarely do you find an absolute bargain, but I did!!
The JE520 I bought was in pristine condition, at a surprisingly low price, with quick delivery, from a prvious owner who treated with total respect.
The unit functions perfectly, and is better than the MDS-J510, which I've owned from new.
It was bought on behalf of a friend, who needed it immediately, and who is delighted with it. He was very surprised how much I'd saved him, on the price of a new machine. OK, so he didn't get a guantantee - so what !!
My own experience of these machines is that they very rarely go wrong, if at all - I've owned mine for more than 10 years now, without any problems at all.

Great mini disc recorder/player. Have used this model for well over 10 years without any problems. Highly recommended.

Having serviced these unit when employed, I decided in my retirement to get hold of one as they were so good and top of the range in their time. If you get a chance to buy a good one at a reasonable price go for it, you won't be disappointed.
Unfortunately the Ebay seller was a dealer of these units and the unit I bought was obviously a collection of all the individual bits that he could not repair or were completely unrepairable. I agree it was listed as faulty but not one thing on it worked. The complete unit was rubbish. It was also very poorly packed and arrived with the PC board cracked (or was it broken before sending?). I have since bought a good one and it is fantastic!

I am very fimiliar with the mini-disc system and I have used it extensively for many years. I needed another drive and foolishly decided to use e-bay. The drive arrived very poorly packed and simply does not work. It rejects all discs, blank and recorded. This was my first purchase on e-bay and I shall not use it again.

wanted to get that model cos it was a top of the range one in it`s day. Decided to go for it as it was listed cheap and was`nt sure wever it worked. Found out it wrked but the opening for the disc needed ajusting
