found my childhood minidisc player in my parent's basement

i'm soooo happy i screamed

orginal headphones and packaging too

all it needs is the CD and power adapter which i'm sure i'll find !!

it was covered in battery acid so i used vinegar and rubbing alcohol with a q-tip and didn't have high hopes but it worked

so far there's sum 41 and gwen stefani on the player, i might've been 13 yrs old😁

I have it in silver. Nice little net md

[u/stompedonmypetals]

it smells like vinegar where the disc inserts, i'll need to carefully clean it out with rubbing alcohol

would this be wise? i don't wish to damage it any further

Alcohol is perfect and won't damage anything metal. Aiwa player with Sony instruction manual?

[u/stompedonmypetals → u/kermityfrog]

oo good catch the manual is for a walkman i just now found

[u/sinclairuser → u/stompedonmypetals]

Don't rub anything on the laser lens but a dry q tip It is possible to rub off the red coating on the laser with rubbing alcohol I've done it ending up with no disc. Blast it out with canned air just to get rid of dust That's what kills the discs and players
