There’s an old phrase - ‘You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.’ However I think I may have managed to make a very small purse out of a very big ear. 

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I’d imported a random bundle of untested Minidisc players from Japan. Naturally, like myself, many were curious to see what exactly I’d bought.

I had one big concern about making an ‘unboxing’ video though - I thought that watching someone unwrap and talk about dozens of similar items might not make for the most riveting content.  

After editing it together - I realised my my concern was justified. The video was well over an hour long and takes ‘niche interest’ to a whole new level. 

In order to rescue things I decided to do a hatchet job and edit out as much as I could. 

I then ended up with a 2min 41sec version. While that’s a bit silly - I prefer this one to the original. 

So in an attempt to keep everyone happy - there’s now a choice. A choose your own adventure, from a video that’s far too short or one that’s way too long.

Mega Minidisc Unwrap (ABRIDGED VERSION)

I bought a load of untested Minidisc players from Japan. I'm still not sure why. This video too short? Watch the full length version here: https://youtu.be/RPWkrwvAT0M My video about Buying from Japanese Auctions: https://youtu.be/QrlgAvJI3WU FAQs Hey I didn't get a notification for this video. Youtube is broken. What's going on - It's the end of times...etc etc - That was intentional. I only put the notification on the abridged version, this one is linked to from that. Two notifications for two versions of the same video seemed like overkill. I don't want to spam anyone's inbox. Hey how come there are comments on this video from a week ago?

This is what brought me here!! did you ever do a follow up on this? also the big green plugged sony remotes were for the Cassette walkmans and can be quite expensive to replace, do you still have any of them for sale? I'm mainly interested in the headphone remotes... broken ones will do.. :D

I haven’t done a follow up - I’m not sure what I’d do in it other than doing the same thing again. I do still have those remotes. When I find them again I’ll send you a picture and you can tell me which one you’re in need of.
