Re: MD: Quality of Past MD recorders.

Hi Nathan,

The Sony MZ-R3 is a damn fine unit, mine is still working perfectly today
and if your insurance policy is a "new for old" cover then you should get a
MZ-R90 or 55 or 50 (your choice-- I'd probably go for the 50).

I love my R3, it may not be as small as todays units, and it may munch
through batteries like hell but it has never let me down :-)  Nathan, check
what your policy says very carefully, given how much the R3 was when
on sale the R90 would be a bargain for them as a replacement.  I think
the insurance company are trying to avoid a payout!

 Hey there everyone,
 Just a quick question for the mailing list. I was until recently an
 owner of a MZ-R3. As most of you know this was one of the original and
 great Minidisc recorders. I had owned it for 4 years, until some little
 prick stole my bag with it in it. Luckily I had the thing insured. So
 now my insurance company is telling me that the MZ-R3 is a sub-standard
 model. By today's standards. yes it is. But when it came out it was
 the top of Sony's line. Am I the only one that thinks this?? I mean I
 know my minidiscs and although the MZ-R3 is old it still is a great
 model and what I would consider a classic.
 I just want to see what everyone here thinks of the situation.
 Cheers,
   Nathan Howe

Prince,
Thanks for getting back to me on that. I completely agree with you on that!
It was a Kick ass machine and once I get the insurance in I will buy another
MZ-R3 for the hell of it. My insurance in New-for-old, so the bastards had
better pay up however they seem to be trying to give me the cheapest MD
player/recorder here in Australia and that is the MZ-R37. Which I personally
think is a joke. The insurance company has been trying to tell me that the
MZ-R3 is a sub standard model. HA!.
Anyway thanks for your words. I appreciate that.
