Hi All, Super interested in the history since the stereo cassette player was such a big part of growing up in the 80s. I have 6 TPS-L2s and the guts of a 7th. I have 5 MDR-3L2 headphones. I'm trying to collect working models of all the TPS-L2 variations. I have: Not working Guys and Dolls with the 'Japanese Walking Stereo with Hotline' sticker on the tape window SN 30xxx Board and gears of a possible Guys and Dolls, SN 20xxx, metal SN sticker Refurbished SN 87xxx Stereo - Lower Front 'Walking Stereo with Hotline' sticker Refurbished SN 105xxx - Stereo Logo Refurbished SN 236xxx Walkman Logo Refurbished SN 466xxx Walkman Logo Refurbished TPS-L2 WM3 Metal Working WM-1 Working Walkman II
I'm looking for a reputable repair shop in the US that can fix my Guys and Dolls. I have new belts, a 1600B motor and internals.
That's a great collection of TPS-L2! Welcome aboard! Feel free to post photos of all them in the gallery section
Welcome! Great collection, search old threads on here for repair shops, they're disappearing fast. Make sure they are established, there's horror stories of either crooked techs or old guys that something bad happens and all the gear disappears. Member radiorich is from your part of the world and used to do Sony Repairs, I don't know if he still does work now, you could PM him.
