Very nice work @Silver965! One question though, are resin casts like this more brittle? A production model could certainly endure a few drops from...
Boxedwalkman seems to be run by a guy from Hong Kong. He's also in one of the walkman groups on facebook. The quality of the stuff is amazing.
After seeing more detailed pics, I'm also leaning towards this being a resin cast. A very nice one indeed. On headphone socket B, there's a line...
I'm guessing the clear Sony is a demo unit of some sort. Seems to be an original Sony one with the Sony logo on top. The original one has a metal...

I usually get some broken USB cables, and get the internal cables out. The gauge of the wires seem to vary by brand. It's a very cheap solution as...
I'm not sure about CD players, but there was a cassette walkman that has SD card slots for playing MP3s.
Here's some comparison of the these small units with those common rewind-less cheap walkmans. Not only did they shrink the case, they also used...
Reminds me of the walkman Sony concept by some German (if I recall correctly) designer from the 80's/90's. I tried looking for pics but couldn't...
