I just bought a dead MC-50 for $5 - catatonic except for the disk light and LCD backlight. Hmm - disk light, suspicious..

Trying the floppy drive in my PC showed it was indeed a bad drive, so I replaced it with a new TEAC 1.44M (Yes, it can run in 720K mode) and now the MC-50 lives again! Runs perfectly - what a deal, eh?

Now I need the manuals!! If you have them, can you photocopy or scan them for me? I'll be happy to pay you for the favor and postage if you want to mail copies. Paypal or whatever works

Email me at electronrancher@yahoo.com if you can help - Thanks!
