[Hajime]

Long story short, I went to a rummage sale and picked up a bunch of old portable CD players because I know you guys like them. I paid from $2-10 for them and I'd be willing to send these to anyone who would really like them. I want to set a few rules to keep this fun. First, only one portable cd player per person. Second, please don't ask for it if you don't need it or aren't really interested in it. Third, I'm sending these things out as a gift from me so I'd really appreciate it if you'd promise not to sell them.

Here's a list of the players:

D-7, great condition physically except for the top of the inside. The little window in to the player is taped on with scotch tape and the puck thing is a little loose. The actual player/laser are fine. It also comes with this heavy BP-200 battery pack which clips on the bottom of the D-7 and is heavier than the player itself. You'll need a 9v wall wart to use it.

D-11 This player is in perfect condition but the puck on the inside top lid is a little loose. I don't know if that's normal or not. It looks new. It needs a 9v wall wart.

D-121 This player is a little scratched up, but other than the external scratches it's fine. It takes two AA batteries. Edit: I just opened the battery drawer for this thing and some kid jammed a piece of candy in there which has since cracked and caused a huge mess. I think this thing's worthless unless someone's willing to clear out the candy crap.

D-EJ611 It's fine, but missing the battery cover so you'll have to use tape to hold the batteries in or something.

I'm not making any money off of this and all I ask is you pay shipping to your address.

none of those pcdps would happen to have an optical out would they?

 

[Hajime]

Null,

They all have line outs. I don't know whether they're optical. I don't think they are.

if you could send me any of those it would be amazing super! I actually dont HAVE a cd player at the moment and I have always wanted to see what all the fuss is about. Email me at

Did you test the D-7 and/or D-11?
I could really use a solid PCDP for my desk, if either works.
Great gesture, by the way.
Someday when I get a job I'll do giveaways too.

 

[YamiTenshi]

Wow, this is really nice of you. I ask for one... but for the time being my cd player is still serving me well, so I'm satisfied.

 

[Hajime]

I tested the D-11, I haven't tried the D-7. I'll dig out a 9v wall wart, plug it in and see what happens.

I'll reply to those who are interested after I get out of work.

oh yeah, i forgot!

...even though I dont need any, its nice that you're giving away freebies!

man, if i had extra cash to burn I would give away some stuff (like that guy who gave away his pp2s... cant remember his name sorry)

I also think that you're doing something cool. I don't need a player at all, but I hope that someone who could use it will get one.

 

[Onix]

Hey Hajime, this is so cool. I already have a D-11 and would love to have another in case one dies. I am in Mexico, but my ex is in Texas and I also have some other friends in Atlanta and Los Angeles that could send it to me later. Would you consider me for the D-11? I promise not to sell it and care for it like my own baby.

Make sure it's the right configuration... IIRC, the older 9V Sony PDCPs are center-negative, and most modern 9V wall warts are center-positive. You can check the diagram on the Sony and the wall wart, though. You can always cut and splice the wires if you want to change the wall wart...

He wont have a problem if he uses the same plug he used with the D-11. IIRC, it's the same size, voltage and polarity. No need to get a new wall WART.

Coming to think of it, did you want us to send you a pm Hajime? Just wanted to be sure.

 

[Hajime]

Private messages or emails are fine.

All the players but the D-EJ611 have been asked for. I hope you guys enjoy them.
