@NigelGentry 3 года назад

Another reason that they stopped making the smaller CDs was that a lot of CD players (including ones in the iMac and laptop computers) started using slot loading for the CDs and these usually wouldn't take the small CDs. I have a limited edition small square CD (Doctor Who - Variations on a Theme). That would look cool spinning around in that player.

@therealjammit 4 года назад

I have an old trick that might help with the "sensitivity to bumps" problem. When you turn it off and store it, place it face down. I used to repair CD players and noticed the flexible white carriage that held the lens would sometimes start to sag under the effect of gravity. Storing it upside down when not in use would sometimes use gravity to pull the carriage back and relieve some of the sagging. The sagging would cause the focusing coils to work harder.

As is often the case with things Japanese that don't make a lot of sense to other markets, 8cm CD singles were really popular there, so it wouldn't have been unusual for a contemporary Japanese person to have a large library of them and who would enjoy the tiny D-88 for playing their collection. On a related note, I have an odd JVC portable CD player (full size though) that has "OPEN TOP PLAY" emblazoned on the top cover and indeed you can run the unit with the top open. Not sure why you'd want to, and for some reason it stops playback if the lid is opened or closed during play so you'd need to position the cover before initiating playback, but it was still a unique machine.

This is what I love about old tech. The creative ways they found to solve problems. Instead of stopping at the idea of a device the size of a CD, they went further and made it smaller for small CD's. but instead of stopping there thought "what if we make it compatible to normals CD's" and found THIS solution. Its fucking genius. Generally, with almost all old tech, I love finding out the creative ways of making things work, by simply thinking outside a box no one knew existed.

@jpsned 2 года назад

Back sometime in the 1980s, Sony came out with a Walkman cassette player that was smaller than the cassette (it was after the WM-10). A two-page magazine ad showed a photo of the cassette case for Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits on the left page with the headline, "Sony invent the world's smallest personal hi-fi." On the right page was a photo of a hand taking the case away to reveal the Walkman, with the headline, "Sorry, the cassette was in the way." I wonder which one it was? 🙂
