I bought an Olympus mju at the Salvation Army bazaar near my house for 300 yen, or about $3. (You can also buy old records there for 200 yen, sometimes there’s good stuff like YMO, Donna Summer or Kelis.) I took it out for a day in Ikebukuro to see what was up. I guess the focus is sometimes way off, and I hadn’t turned the quartz date off, but I think it’s still not a bad deal. Anyway I’ve already replaced it with something better.
