SPECIAL EDITION

不能說的秘密

'46年5月，資本金19萬日圓與約20名員工的"東京通信工業"由社長井深大帶領下，於日本東京成立。50年後的1996年，這家公司迎接創立50周年記念。

沒錯，冰雪聰明的你一定也猜到了"東京通信工業"就是Sony。而我們的主角MZ-E50L才是50周年記念機種。

幾乎是同一個模子(事實上也如此)產出的E50L與E50有著極相近的外表，不過E50L有著更極致平整無凸出碟片視窗，機身上也以金屬字鑲上"1996 SONY 50th ANNIVERSARY"字樣，此外E50L是Sony首台線控為通用耳機接頭機型(E50仍是Sony特規Micro Plug接頭)。

據說E50L為50周年記念會上贈送給來賓的禮物，由於官方未曾正式發表，唯一能確認於11月登場，也由於過於神密的身分讓E50L身價水漲船高，甚至在'20年12月日本Yahoo上"未使用美品"飆出了¥468,000的驚人天價~推估數量可能為300~500台之間，只是詳細仍是一個無解的不能說的秘密...

Unspeakable Secret

In May '46, with a capital of ¥190,000  and approximately 20 employees, "Tokyo Telecommunications Industry" was established in Tokyo, Japan, led by President Dai Fukai. Fifty years later, in '96, the company celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Yes, the astute among you must have guessed that "Tokyo Telecommunications Industry" is indeed Sony. And our protagonist, the MZ-E50L, is the commemorative model for the 50th anniversary.

The E50L, almost identical to the E50 (which it practically is), shares a remarkably similar appearance. However, the E50L features an even more sleek and flat design with no protruding disc window. The body is adorned with a metal inscription that reads "1996 SONY 50th ANNIVERSARY." Additionally, the E50L is Sony's first model with a universal headphone jack for the remote control (while the E50 still uses Sony's special Micro Plug connector).

It is said that the E50L was a gift given to guests at the 50th-anniversary celebration. Due to the official non-disclosure, the only confirmed information is its debut in November. The mysterious identity of the E50L has driven its value to skyrocket, reaching an astonishing price of ¥468,000 for an "unused excellent condition" unit on Japan's Yahoo Auctions in December '20. The estimated quantity is believed to be between 300 to 500 units, but details remain an unsolvable and unspoken secret.
