This is my new-in-wrap Sony Walkman WM-F2031. I purchased the same Walkman in 1990 for $65.99 from an electronics store and got a few years of play out of it before I misplaced it. It was an upper-tier Walkman for its time with a PLL synthesized tuner. Found this same factory sealed model 31 years later on eBay. I have several vintage Walkmans, from the TPS-L2 to the WM-30, but this was my daily player.

That's awesome.
Only things I think I specifically went back and bought were some ek bowie knives that I'd been lusting for since I saw them at gun shows but was too young and poor to afford them. |

Feels bad that 1990 is retro, but that is pretty cool.
When I got my wisdom teeth pulled (only had upper two), my dentist office gave me a walkman while he was doing his thing. I was stoned on gas and jamming out to the latest Styx album. 83/84 time frame. |

I got a new pocket fisherman off Ebay last year for Christmas.
First time out, caught a 19 in bass.

I've got a PAQ-4 that's probably that old. It mounts in the carry handle and it's big.

At this point it’s worth too much to do that. I have 3.2 carrera with 993 brakes and I find myself driving it hard just so I can hammer the brakes because that’s the fun part. |

I swear I had the same Walkman but I was listening to Jodeci and Luke, so something isn't adding up. Maybe the next version or something.
