MD transplantation by bwerbrou M.D.

[bwerbrou]

as promised, here's my MD transplantion. Enjoy it while watching, but please respect the aseptic conditions.


the equipment you need: latex gloves, sterile equip like bistouri, kocher, cissors, cutter, cotton, syringe, screwdriver, glue and two MDs!


first put on the gloves, for hygienic reasons,; you never know if the patient is seropositive (even though i'm vaccinated for hepatitis B)


work in aspectic conditions. you can use a solution of chlorhexidine 5%




anesthesy, you don't want the disc to suffer during the operation. heavy boys do it without. you can use xylocain with adrenaline


use the knife to open the shutter and pull the shutter off very gently. don't break it!




done!!! first difficult step of the operation...





open the disc with a knife with a very thin blade or use a screwdriver as a handle. but be careful. The MD disc was piece of cake to open (click click click and it was open). The HiMD disc seems to be glued together. The body was damaged during the operation. But don't think I will need that Himd coat ever again so...
be careful that you don't loose any pieces, but think this is very obvious why...


the two discs after the transplantation. try not to take out the discs by hand, transfer them by putting one part of the MD disc shell to the HiMD shell and flip it. that way, you don't need to move it by hand (fingerprints!!!! )


glue everything together, but beware to let the disc dry for one night before you put it in your MD player/recorder!


ione lucky patient (the acceptor thanks his HiMD donor!)!


without flash, hopefully healthy, if there's rejection i will see tomorrow when i play the disc, but there were no complications during the operation




the family visits the patient in hospital.

thank you Doctor bwerbrou for saving my life!

Cool! Another Hi-MD transplant!

The only thing I have a problem with is the outgassing of the glue. It is going to release some gasses while it dries, it could leave residue on the disc and damage it. It could also transfer that residue to the MD rec/player. Before you put it in the player check to see if the plastic on the color disc did not discolor. Maybe even open the shutter and check the disc.

seems that Valder was before me, damn, it was a race against time though. respect to Valder for for your fast operating skills

Heh... that is very creative!

[ajitp]

do all the discs work??

[bwerbrou]

i'll find out tomorrow, the glue has to dry first before i put them in my himd

[bwerbrou]

just did another transplant, now i have a red an dorange himd. must say that the colour of the shutter matches perfectly with these colours. but now I have left two very hideous HIMD discs, one with a black shutter and another one with an orange shutter

i've just put the first disc (the red one) in my nh1 and so far it plays perfectly. i've checked first if the two sides were glued good enough, and that's no problem. i sued model glue, ideal for plastic. I also did another check by ejecting the disc a few times (about 20 times during spin), to look if the two sides would come loose, but no problem.

yeah baby, two new discs, finally i can't mix them up anymore. the red one's for rock, the orange one for elektro/techno. think i'll buy another himd disc to have another colour for classical music.
