    Hi there !
    Here some picture of a part of my small collection...
    I only keep some walkman that mean something to me (the one I owned in the 80's or the one I love more)

    Some I didn't kept :

    Orson FE 820 (old bulky/plastic/boxy thing)
    Sanyo TRC 1550 (a good TPS-like)
    SONY WM-F20 (didn't kept because my WM20)
    SONY WM-31/41 (even after a belt replacement and care it sounded like... cheap)
    SONY WM-35 (didn't kept because my WM-75)
    Kenwood CP-303 (the Aiwa P09 in disguise... didn't work and I already have a G09)
    Aiwa HS-G35 mkii (good cheap one, worked fine)
    Aiwa HS-G37 (like the WM-31/41.. looks cheap.. sounds cheap)
    Aiwa HS-T50 (NOS in sealed box.. but not what I am searching for now)
    Panasonic RQ-P303 (shame I didn't kept this one... It was my personal favorite back in 90)
    Panasonic RQ-XV30 (to "modern" to keep)
    Sony YP-EW 21 "mountain bouncer" (brand new ! But I'm not Indiana Jones !)
    SONY WM-EX560 (same as the Panasonic XV30)
    SONY WM-EX53/57 (same again)

    And some I keep under my bed :D

    SONY TC 55 (works fine !!)
    SONY DD (works but like an old DD the central gear is split ... clac clac clac.. ;) )
    AIWA HS J02 (radio works perfectly, but I must change the belt)
    SONY WM-20 (in perfect shape, like new with clip belt system and MDR-W30L, I've just changed the belt and it works perfectly !)
    Aiwa HS-P06 (changed the belt, works fine)
    Aiwa HS-G09 (actualy my daily walkman, looks and works like new, sounds really good !)
    SONY WM-75 blue with MDR-A25 (must change the belt)
    SONY WM-2055 (like new, works fine, I keep it just because it reminds me some good memories)
    Aiwa HS-pc204 (works and sounds great.. but I prefer my G09 because of the EQ)


    Some pictures :

    There's one walky I'm still looking for... A Toshiba KT 4075 that was stolen with my scooter in 1988 :(
    I've been searching for since many years but never seen one showing up on eBay & co :(

    This is a beautiful collection.
    Im curious about the Kenwood CP-303, and the Aiwa HS-pc204
    I own a pc202mkii and it looks identical to the pc204.
    How is the PC204 different then the PC202 series?
    Also how does the kenwood sound? I've heard that the Kenwood is a clone of the Aiwa's.

    The PC204 is nothing more than a 202mkII without the bass system (DSL) but it has the Dolby C ! :)
    The Kenwood is a P09 ! Compared with my G09, it's an Awai with a different door, differnt colors, but all the rest is exactly the same !
    Unfortunatly my CP-303 didn't work :( the belt was melted and it doesn't power on. But as it is the same as my G09 I didn't tried to fix it !

    Love those Aiwa's. The pastel green and blue colors on the front scream 80's :)

    I have a "thing" for Sony WM series walkmans. One can only describe it as "LUST":humping:

    You have an impressive lot of eye candy there!! The Awai cases are in extraordinary shape as well. Normally those fall apart from use (or 35 years :wink:) but yours are in brand new condition! Well done sir!

    My best friend in my street had a Vectrex 35 years ago, it was incredibly cool indeed! Strange thing, but definitely cool!
