It's so frustrating that every even remotely interesting thing from the past is now part of its own collector scene...

Net-MD ones cost even more (without Net-MD you need to spend even more on a HI-FI MD deck to copy tracks over).
The model pictured it one of the later Hi-MD machines that are just Unobtainium these days.
