We crank a vintage Sony "MEGA BASS" boombox like this in our boat.
 We snagged it on sale at Service Merchandise back in '87 for around $30. No need for a 9VDC converter, the old school super robust Sony circuity handles 12VDC effortlessly. |

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? 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. |

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.

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.

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
