#Nintendo #Gamecube was so cool and weird. #Minidisk size, and the case had a spot for a gamecube #memorycard to hold.

Had some fun fixing a Sony #Minidisk MZ-R70. Apparently it got damaged internally and someone tried to repair the "leg" that keeps the main cartridge holder connected to the door with medical tape.

Unfortunately this seized the door closed but also didn't fix the real issue, which was that the door closed button sensor was not anymore pressed due to the damaged piece missing, keeping the device in a perpetual off state..

I removed the tape + cleaned up, fixed the bends on the magnetic head and bypassed the sensor to bring the MD back to life, works for reading MDs but need to test recording.

Seems like it had a long life and was used a lot, structural fatigue on the corners and the battery holder clips are making it flimsy to open/close + the battery pops out sometimes, but hey, why should I complain ? i can fix those later, it is a working Minidisk 🙂

anyone want to swap random #minidisk s at #38C3 ?

I have some used ones with random Japanese home radio recordings.

Edit: Okay nevermind I forgot that bag while rushing to the train, sorry for the fuss 😞
