Sony MZ-R55 MD Walkman Portable MiniDisc Recorder with Discs and Charger
This lot, numbered 218, comprises a Sony MZ-R55 MD Walkman portable MiniDisc recorder, presented with a mains charger and a group of TDK MD discs. The unit is finished in silver with black detailing and carries the Sony name, the “Digital Mega Bass” legend and “MD Walkman” and “Digital Recording” markings on its casing. Its controls include play, stop, record and search buttons, along with an LCD display and a volume dial. The accompanying mains adaptor has a standard UK three-pin plug and a fine lead terminating in a slim connector. Several TDK MD discs are housed in a clear plastic storage case, and a further group of coloured plastic cases is included with the lot.
Condition and Collector Interest
The recorder and its accessories show signs of previous use, including general marks and wear consistent with age. The lot is offered as seen and has not been tested, so no guarantee is given as to function. Its contents are of interest to collectors of late twentieth and early twenty-first century portable audio, particularly those drawn to MiniDisc formats and the Sony MD Walkman range. The grouping of recorder, charger and discs in one lot may also appeal to enthusiasts looking to assemble or complete an original setup.
