bought by me new in 2009, fully working & in excellent condition, being sold with the RM-MC38EL remote as shown, also with the battery shown (which may not hold a charge).
I ran the portable via USB to test it as shown in the photos
Sony's last portable MD recorder & top of the range Hi-MD compatible (but also play normal SP recorded discs & MDLP / Net MD recorded discs)
the black model was only sold in Europe / North America only (not in Japan or Asia)
