Sony discman help!

Hi all

Going through a bit of a retro period of late, so last night I submitted an an offer on a well known auction site for a Sony Discman D-90 which I won. It's in great condition but does not have a charger or the Sony Rechargeable ni-cad battery. I only paid peanuts, and if I can't source a battery then my Mums other half said he'd give me what I paid for it, so really I've lost nothing

Just wondering if the batteries are still available? Seem to think that a Denon one will also fit? Can any of you guys point me in the right direction for sourcing one of these.

Maybe a place like Batteries Plus can find a battery that will fit.

 

I've seen an ad by a company who will take your ni-cad and recharge or re-cel it - I'm not sure what the science is here. I found the service on eBay. Here is a link to their offer, although it looks like it's no longer available.

Maybe you can find them or someone like them elsewhere. It's try Head-Fi.com as their audience used to be heavily into vintage CD players.

 

You still have it ? A universal PS would have done the trick. I use mine to power all my PCDP's.

 

There was also a piece that could be inserted if you took out the battery pack, to convert it to take AA batteries. They sell those on eBay. Not sure it works for all regions though.
