[youthradioleaders] equipment question

[Phaye Poliakoff-Chen]

We still use the Sony mini disc recorders also.  We haven't had any 
problems getting mini discs - they are still available at Target even. 
The old model - the Sony MZ R37 - runs on AA batteries for a pretty long 
time.  I've seen them on eBay for $50.  They don't have some of the 
bells and whistles that the MZ-B10 has, but the sound quality is good.  
And, because they don't have the bells and whistles, they are a little 
easier to use.   (Would love to try the new Marantz, but it's so 
expensive.  Has anyone started using it yet?)
