geez.. for a 31 year old walkman that you don't even own that was sent to you.. you sure are smashing those buttons when you got it. I would cringe if that was my vintage stuff I borrowed you and saw you treating it like a $10 whore
That "My First Sony" kiddie cassette recorder does have two microphone jacks where you can plug in either of these mic jacks and then talk back while playing the music, but your original 1979 Sony very first Walkman does have a "Hot Line" button that talks back too, just like the "My First Sony" did where you can sing along and then talk back as well.
The Walkman craze was a great thing. I was 18 and very enthusiastic. I had the Sony walkman FM Stereo radio. It had great sound. And at that time, it was amazing that you could have living room stereo sound (or it sounded that way at the time) while you're walking.
lol @ people saying you sound older than you are. Im 18 and love 80s technology. I'm ordering a WM-D3 walkman in a few days and can't wait to listen to my tapes on the go!
Hey, sony still makes some cassette walkmen, but since they record, the sonystyle website lists them under "voice recorders & microphones". They're in the $30-ish range. However considering that they have several "features" like VOX & a "speed knob" and they're offered for that price, they're most likely DC bias :(
I have a 1985 sony wm-11d walkman.. it was my dads he didnt take good care of it but i got it working and it is great... it doesnt play in the left channel i think its the jack but other than that and the missing battery cover it rocks! i later bought a sony wm-fs233 in 2007 and it too works nicely ... i think walkmans are awesome and am sad that they were discontinued.. what a shame.. lol walk down the street listening to ur walkman and watch the look on ppls faces :)
@wutzi2004 Is that odd to you? Since your mom was probabaly some stupid whore,Reason why you never grew up with a real sense of life, You little bitch. Remember when your daddy called your mom a whore? ya , she got dildo's up her ass ya fukin queer, Thats why you fuck men to this day you little homo bitch. hes some advice, Never walk outside in the snow with a white jacket, Ya might get ran over. LOL. Wrap that little sentense around your brain ya fucking loser. :)
Nice video i just got a sony dictaphone that has touch buttons and auto reverse it takes standard audio cassette i'll make a video when i get it. Its very slim and uses a battery that looks like a gum stick. @CassetteMaster
ahh the TPS-L2, great machine. got some bad flutter. Throw a new belt in that bad boy and the sound quality will kick ass! For those who don't like walkmans go comment somewhere else!
hey guys i have a 1998 Panasonic stereo system has a 50 cd holder and two mic jac karake, 3d space sound and super woofer speaker sub, the model is a SA-AK9, what does something like that go for
Are you using the amplifier with the Walkman? I've too got one. But my Walkman is so small and, I think, it was invented after the Walkman of this video.
But I never seen THIS Walman. I remeber the first Portable Record Player. I'd got it!!
That is one beautiful machine. The original Blue/Silver Walkman.
I have a Walkman model WM-FX177 that I bought at a thrift store second-hand for 50 cents. It was made in 1997, and it has an AM/FM tuner as well as a cassette player. It's great!
lol with that hot line button you could pop in a tape of your favorite music or karoke and hook this to a big sound system and sing along with the music, nice little tape recorder ya got there ricky, and it was nice of AA5R to give it to you
Walkmans are really good value for money, and extremely good quality shows throughout. Even the plastic ones are built like tanks. Your new found masterpiece is no exception.
I own an old, but somewhat newer 1983 WM-F1. It works very good despite being in a poor condition.
definetely , the nostalgia for old electronics, is the lack of quality of today's electronics, saddly sony also has lost quality .... good luck with that walkman.
"my mom is calling me to eat supper". HEE HEE okay that was cool - but really, how do your parents think about ALL the mass amounts of equipment you have? I thought _I_ was bad with my reel to reel decks, betamax machines and turntables. :)
yeah discorecords I thought I was bad i do have alot of stuff in my room i should do a video maybe since i uploaded the first full talking-in-the-video, video of an ANALOG CASSETTE answering machine, but im still not ready to show my face in a video on here yet, you want to see what I look like add me as a friend on myspace, BUT ill only add you if I know you well enough.
Genuine 1979 Walkman - the year I was born! That is definitely a beautiful and well-kept machine indeed. And you're right - products manufactured back then were built to last. Great video!
The reason the original Walkman was so well made is because the tape transport came from their Pressman Professional cassette recorder (it was designed for pro use so it was very well constructed!)
WOW, I saw an old dial-tuning TV at 07:21. Do you collect other vintage hardware like that too? Also, it looks like you have an older dual cassette deck too!
Sony Walkmans are the best quality. I got one for Christmas when I was a kid in the mid-1990s, and it still works like new. I still use it all the time.
I have a Walkman from the mid-1990s as well. It doesn't work very well anymore, but that's to be expected since I literally played its circuits out. It retired approximately eight years later after enduring several hours of play almost every day since it was bought new.
Wow! I've never seen the original Sony Walkman before. It is pretty cool. This was first introduced back in 1979. I was a year old when Walkman's first came out. Great find and it is rare. This was long before the iPod was invented.
Anyone who bought one of these back in the day would remember the Harrier sound effects tape that came with it to show off it's stereo sound.
