I don't really buy md gear anymore (already have more than I really need) but I peek at the offers local to me and occasionally something like this pops up - perfect condition unit in great color that I just can't say no to ;)

It's truly like-new all around, I disassembled it yesterday for a quick lube and it's pristine inside too :)
Even the damn sticker got off perfectly.
Took it for a spin with my doggo ;)

I don't know where he pulls them out from and just how many more he has because he already gave me 5 full boxes by now.

Bit of a followup now that ive gotten to this point.

Ive posted about this player before about the battery terminal. Ive finally fixed this issue. This leads me to my next issue.

During playback I noticed if its on its side it tends to pause until I place it horizontal again.

Safe to assume this is a call for maintenance re-greasing but I want your guys input before I go ahead and do that.

Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone, I have this R900 and I’m trying to fix it. It works well, but when listening to music it stops often and it takes about 5 seconds to resume.

I have cleaned the lens and cleaned with alcohol the worm gear shaft and the rail. Then I have relubricated the transporter with lithium both with a toothpick. But now it’s even worse, now it stops itself more often and it takes longer to resume.

What could be the problem now and it’s in a worse condition?

I recorded a song on my sharp MD-R2 but the playback is really bad, the display shows it progressing at like half speed and every once in a while you hear about half a second of audio, any ideas why?
