    Hello everyone,
    I have just returned to the portable cassette player world after almost 40 years. Trying to learn from the experienced members here about the tech and techniques.
    Thank you!

    Can you elaborate as to specifically better what you're interested in? Walkman's, boomboxes, digital garbage, what?

    Hi
    I am interested in Walkman, especially those in 80s.

    Great! Now we're getting somewhere. Any particular style of Walkman interested in other than just '80s because pretty much all of them are made in the '80s LOL

    I like the chunky, boxy style at early 80s. Also like the design of DD or similar models. I like D6C as well. Are these sufficiently answered your question LOL

    Okay, well I have, a. Boxed d6c and another d6c and I have a bodoo-khan. Plus lots more, nearly 100 Sony and a few other brands. Not too many other brands mostly Sony.

    Here's a recent link I made.

    They could be.
    Make me an offer.
    I do want to keep at least one of these. Probably the d6c.

    Right now I'm in the middle of two different peoples with other transactions while I'm trying to repairing yet another Toshiba RTS 90 as it's rather daunting because it's got a crack in the main board. So I'm going to spend tomorrow morning reflowing a few hundred solder joints and hopefully getting it to power up correctly.
