Had the joint on the right.....only took one battery, held mad songs, and didn't give af if I dropped it cause it was almost all metal

Friend has the one on the left with the display on the side, them joints are highly sought after.

I had a discman in 1996 and wanted the MD bookshelf player to complete the cypher :noah:

Sony bookshelf systems were a whole different level of hi-fi systems. They put just about everything in them that their separate component counterparts had.

I would build a retro room in my house and that's where I would keep all of this. But other than that......lol. respect though for sure bro!

lol, thanks. I’m working on a place for all my old audio gear. Only thing I’m missing is a nice 3-head cassette deck, Sony used market for those is still outrageous.

Slight sidenote, but if you still have your physical media (CDs, DVDs, etc), keep that shyt. You just never know when you’ll need it. Stuff can be removed from streaming services just like that. Also, even external drives can malfunction.
This is why I've been meaning to invest in some storage drives. 20 terabytes will be more than enough for what I got.

I bought the blank discs, home player with recorder, the portable joint, then the actual deck for the whip, etc.

I got over 200 mini discs up in the attic that I made over a 4 of 5 yr span.

People would get in the car and be like :ohhh:

I'd be like "yeah, ppl ain't up on this yet":jawalrus:


Ppl never got up on it:mjcry:

You and me both fam. I loved the mini disc era.
Man I only knew one dude with the mini disc in the whip. He was in one of the local car clubs but he was a different CAC. He was on a club hockey team because there was no hockey team in our school. He had a blue jetta similar to the white one in the first fast and the furious movie. But, his system was nice, but everybody was like you really put the mini disc in the whip.

I couldn't say shyt though I was still rockin the discman connected via the tape deck in my whip

:unimpressed:

I remember looking at that all the time in the crutchfield catalog. But, I was content with my AIWA and just spent my money other places. Then JVC released a crazy stereo when I was in college and I had to have that bytch.


If only you thought that about Amazon and bought some stock :wow:

Man awhile back I found an investing in the new century book I bought back in highschool. Some of the stocks it hyped like Amazon had I bought back then instead of just thumbing through it and blowing my money on bullshyt.

:snoop:
