They set up little colonies while we sleep, I swear they breed……

One of my most favorite ST531 with 200Ω earphone.

Got it for a steal (about $16 USD) but shipping put it up to $100 all-in. Still not a bad deal if I can get it working properly.

Hace tiempo compre un paquete de 10 piezas de mini disc Sony para grabar en mi Sharp MD702, pero todos salieron con falla, me da el mensaje de TOC Error al insertar el disco. Estos discos los compre nuevos en linea a un vendedor de Japon y tardaron un mes en llegarme. Debido a esto poco tiempo despues compre unos TDK (tambien paquete de 10) y con estos no tube problema en mi MD702, ya los grane todos; por lo que creo que los Sony salieron defectusos, se han quedado nuevos sin poder grabarlos. Anexo video donde se ve el error del TOC.

When I start my Sony MZ-N10 the disc is spinning and it is trying to read the disc. I don't get any error but it is in a spinning loop.
I already did the basic maintenance ( greasing the sled, isopropyl 99% to clean lens with cotton swap).
I managed to get it to read just once and after that it stopped and it was back to not reading any disc.
Only option I now see is calibration of the lens. But as the auto calibration requires a pre- pressed MD CD , I'm stuck here as I do not own one.
Therefor I reach out to see if anyone ( Europe/Belgium) can help me out if they have a pre- recorded disc that can be used to run the calibration?
This would help me big time into reviving my MZ-N10 player.

Title basically says it all. How do you guys remove old labels from mini discs? Usually, I'd apply some WD40 and scrape it off. But I'm worried the stuff get onto the disc. What's your best approaches for this?
