Quoted: 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. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/259519/34AF7E6B-AD1B-4985-9889-EA24171C17F7_jpe-2182034.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/259519/BCC0083E-5375-497E-83DE-E0AEF06FB199_jpe-2182035.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/259519/F6CC9006-8EFC-4ED4-85ED-65691C5FEDAA_jpe-2182058.JPG Anyone have anything cool from the past? View Quote I’m pretty sure there is a Walkman in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in DC. It’s strange walking through and seeing stuff that we grew up with now in a museum. |

Nice, OP. I don't have any of the Walkmans that I have owned. I did get one of the first Walkmans in Japan about a year before they were sold in the US. I think it was 1978-9. I was on tour there for a couple of months. All the jazz musicians had bought them so they could record every performance of theirs. LOL. These were all metal, I believe, and quite small. It's been a while.

in the 80's I had the poors, could only afford a Panasonic portable cassette player.
I remember taking it, with my Van Halen tapes, to basic training. |

Don't get me wrong, as 6 and 8 year olds it provided hours of entertainment - our sides hurt from laughing so much watching the players spin in circles or run the wrong way. Good times. |

I remember them from when I was a kid.. I don't think I had one, but IDK..maybe a friend had one(?) but thats all I remember is a bunch of vibrating and players doing not so much else. the post prompted me to watch a video to understand just what it is that it's supposed to do. I understand it now, but I'm sure as a kid we couldn't be bothered with reading the directions |

I had the big yellow “water resistant” one. Never tried it but with headphones in it, no way.
Oh lord, poster in this thread has one. Thanks for the memories but I don’t miss cassettes at all. |

Quoted: I have the original Walkman in the blue leather case... Same one they used in Guardians of the Galaxy. When my son wanted to dress up a Star Lord/Quill for Halloween a few years ago I saw him making a cardboard one. I asked him why is he doing that and he said "because I wanted it to look close" I told him to stop, went to storage and got it out for him. He about freaked out. https://zippyimage.com/images/2021/11/26/5b1ff24d008b344dd163135fa5953e89.jpg View Quote And then he ran inside, got on E bay, and sold it for 10 times what you think he sold it for. |

Another gem that survived my youth. My Tomytronic Pac-Man game I got for Christmas in 1981. I was 7yrs old. Japanese made and still works.
