so....

in my treasure hunt for spare parts - headset adapter for 808 etc, Ive signed up to www.buyee.jp

service that lets you buy items from auctions.yahoo.jp

there is shed loads of walkmans - loads of not working/not checked ones.

they do take small fee- buyee

bought ex90 for 1100 yen - including fee, so that makes it around £7

I bet that delivery will be more to £15.....

will see...am in need of remote and adapter..hopefully remote will work  

fingers crossed...

will update once it arrives - might take one month depending how fast they will get it

http://www.japamart.com/  You can actually do the shopping yourself at the direct site.  You have to load your account with funds and then you can bid and win.  They ship the products very well.  And yes they are cheep, but usually pretty beat.  After you are done buying you can request a refund of the funds left over and they return the amount.  Uses a Pay Pal account very easy.  Have fun!
