@MartyMartin87

danke :D

[alejandrolevel]

WoW!!! That's one very BEAUTIFUL walkman... although I think the belt needs changing since the song is a little slow... but otherwise a SUPERB example of japanese engineering!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!

[DecentMan4you]

Never seen one of these before I wonder why there is not too many of these out in the world? Was this i ONE Year production manfactured?

[stadt49]

good

[1walkgirl]

Thanks :D

I also have got a Toshiba KT-S1, which I inherited from my father.

It's fully working well yet, actually it was reparied at a phone jack 1 due to being broken. Mein Vater bought KT-S1 in Saudi Arabia when he went to a business trip in 1981. I was born in 1983 and live in South Korea. :)

[stadt49]

good

[1walkgirl]

More Thanks :D

[1walkgirl]

:O

You must try to get it going again!, or try to get a neew one on the e bay :-)

they do not go that high!!

[stacksovids12]

What a lovley piece of kit, so much more dynamic and cool looking than the bland cheap silver looking "cyber" crap designs now.I love the way the radio slips in too. I picked up a KT-S1 at a boot sale last month for £1, and it works!! still has the blue FM radio pack, also working, and its in the original silver vinyl carry case, just had to have it and for just a quid, had to be a bargain i reckon.

I have a KT-S1~!, a very nice walkman!!

1 quid is cheap! :-)

[JoshSwannack]

It is playing a bit slow, hmm. I bet recording using the machine itself would play at normal speed! :)

[1walkgirl]

Could be!, but also the cassette deck was not very well when I made the recording in 85 or 86 :o

The tape is also more as 20 years old!

[JoshSwannack]

I have some tapes from the 80's recorded off the radio, mostly Top 40 hits and Top 100 charts and they still sound great. I always thought cassettes themselves would degrade over time, but my Sony HF and Memorex tapes sound amazing. I like the pretty coloured Memorex best to be honest though! Nice video :)

[1walkgirl]

Kool!

Thanks, I have lots of 80s tapes still also!

[Lachlant1984]

My God Mother's ex-husband had a Toshiba personal stereo like this one, it had a radio tuner cartridge thing like this one, you inserted the cartridge in the tape well, and there were cut outs in the door for the tuning dial. The Toshiba unit didn't record like yours but it had Auto Reverse, and the rewind and fast forward buttons were mounted on the door. He also had an external battery pack that held 2 D size batteries, and it connected to the AC Adaptor jack. How common are units like this

[1walkgirl]

That would probably be a toshiba KT-S1 walkman!

I have one also, I must make a video one day!

:D

[Lachlant1984]

I don't know the model number, I last used the thing about 12 or 13 years ago, if you make a video of your unit, i may be able to tell you if it's the same one or not. Do you plan to make more videos soon?

[1walkgirl]

I will make ine when I find the little tripod!!

[ERFJ]

oohh!!! nice walkman!! but the original song runs more fast..

neds new belts??

[1walkgirl]

The new belt are now on it, but it does play the same I think, must be normal for this walkman

[DrCassette]

That's a really interesting little walkman!!! Very nice any small thing, and the radio cassette is also a really good idea. I've seen a Fisher Walkman before that uses a radio cassette too.

[1walkgirl]

Yes I love it very much this walkman, also because

it is verry uncommon in every way

There are more 80s walkmans that use cassette tuners!, lots even

[alessandrowolfmclean]

wow, nice collection of walkman!!!

[1walkgirl]

Thanks!

[Patjuh1990]

Wel goeie muziek :-)

[1walkgirl]

Ja, ik heb ook goede smaak :D

[damusician]

Wow, I never seen one like it before! You got a nice rare collection of walkmans.

[1walkgirl]
