Feel free to email me through DVINFO if you want. I don't want to hijack your thread any more than I already have :-)

Thanks,
Vito

PS. For those of you looking at this ad, the iRivers are awesome for events. Buy Dave's stuff!

Hi Vito - when a part of the LCD goes out, it's a tough fix, as the construction internally is not easy to take apart without destroying the display ribbon cable - that said, what model has the bad display? I've got a pile of "really dead" ones I can experiment on and see if I can sucessfully reemove the display, in which case the repair isn't that hard aside from having to resolder a long chain of connections. It may be doable, but it's taken me some time and experimentation to develop repair techniques - I'll look into this one!

Hi Jeff -
I've used both the 7 series and 8 series - I have a slight preference for the 7 series because it's very slightly smaller, maybe 1/8" or less in length and width, but functionally they seem identical to me. Both do the job, but the 7 series seem to command a premium on resale as well. You don't need much more than 128M for most recording purposes, and the Giant Squid mics seem to be popular for these, although I've found a source for some really killer stereo lav pairs, seem to work quite well with these.

I'l have a final inventory shortly, but I've got a bunch of iFP795's (512MB) - probably 7 or 8, at least one 799 (1GB), one 895 (512MB), and one or two 790's (256MB). I'm guessing at around $70-120 for these right now, depending on capacity and cosmetic condition (most look really good anyhow), probably including domestic USPS priority shipping.

Up for sale is my very well taken care of/lightly used Zoom H4n digital recorder. Like new. Everything comes in the original packaging as if it were new. I'll even throw in new AA batteries.

Why am I getting rid of it? It's WAY more than I need and I'd rather have a more compact device. No trades, so please don't offer.

I am accepting Paypal only. If you plan to use credit card for your payment please add 3% to the total.

Asking $275 (shipped)

Here is the info on the unit:

Ideal for recording interviews, lectures, rehearsals, meetings, and more, this palm-sized unit packs the ability to record up to 4 channels of audio at greater than CD quality.

The H4n features onboard true X/Y stereo microphones to pick up clear, natural sound without phase shifting. The mics can be rotated to select a 90° or 120° recording pattern for terrific versatility. The digitally-controlled preamp, combined with the high-quality microphones, allows you to capture Linear PCM audio at rates up to 24-bit/96kHz. The recorder captures audio to SD or SDHC cards with capacities up to 32GB. A USB 2.0 port allows you to quickly transfer files to a Mac or PC, or use the H4n as a live audio interface.

For connecting your own microphones or instruments, the H4n features XLR/TRS combo input jacks with phantom capability. A 3.5mm line output is provided, and a reference speaker is built-in for quickly reviewing your recordings.

It's an ifp-899. I can tell it's not the screen, but a connection somewhere, cause if I press on the lcd, some of it comes back to life. I took apart a dead one I had to see if it would give me any clues, but as you said, it was tough to disassemble, and I didn't want to destroy the other one trying to fix it.

Don't knock yourself out, by any means. I just thought maybe you had come across this before.

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated,

Any SD cards included? If so what size?

The tripod is a 3021BN Manfrotto tripod in like new condition. The 3063 fluid head has a quick disconnect camera plate, very good condition. The viscous fluid in the head had become thick so the pan & tilt action was quite stiff. I took it apart & finally cleaned off the old fluid that was nearly solid & replaced it with Mobils red grease; the action is a little on the loose side. Isopropyl alchohol will remove the grease very easily & can be regreased with Manfrotto's viscous fluid, quite easily.

The 3063 head has had very little use & is in good condition (no dings or scratches) & comes with an 18" handle. The combination sold new for $350-, I am asking $145- plus shipping of $18-.

I have an 8 series that has an audible hiss associated with all the audio files. My other one of the same model/settings/firmware doesn't have it. Do you know of any repairs or tricks for that?

I'll forward this link to a friend looking for some irivers as well.

Thanks for giving us first crack :)

Nicole,

The last line of the description says that part of the accessories included is a 1gb SD card. The same card that came with the Zoom. It's already formatted and ready to go.

Thanks.

I am on tight income and want to find someone who has a unused full license for Final Cut Pro (any version that can be upgraded to Final Cut Studio 3. I am a total beginner low on money and my mom bought my FCE4 last christmas to digitize and edit our 65 Video8 Tapes (using Sony GV-D200). Then she got a Canon HF s10 in April for her trip to England, and now all the money is gone.

So anyone want to help out a beginner director and offer me a cheap or free Final Cut Pro SN full retail?

Thanks all and for the wonder help.
