    Hello everyone,
    I've had a cassette deck for some time now and I've recorded a few nice tapes from vinyl which I would like to listen to when not at home, so after a bit of research I've read about the Sony WM-10. I was looking for a small, nice quality walkman, preferably with dolby NR (like the WM-10II) and this early-80's design. So I would really appreciate if you guys could tell me where to look for one of these models, or any other similar one, and maybe even someone wants to sell their own for a reasonable price...:biggrin:




    PD: In the old forum I have seen a thread where a user called "rengzi" had one to sell cheap (although it was long ago), but I can't find this user now here, does someone know him/how to contact him?

    Under 100€ would be great, but if that's not possible I guess I could go up to 200€, no more than that

    I'm waiting on a pink WM 20 to arrive sometime next week. From what I've seen in the photos it's in very good condition cosmetically. If you are interested let me know. I'll most likely be installing a new belt anyway.

    I'd recomment a DD-III, DD30 or DD33, and you'll be impressed of how well do they sound.
    Rengzi is not an user here anymore, but he knows that we're here. Maybe he don't want to participate anymore. I'll private message him and ask, ok?
    In the meantime, send me a message and we can talk, ok?

    I'm happy to tell you I already found a wm-f10 on ebay that seems to be great cosmetically and working, for 200€. When it arrives I will upload some photos and tell you how it works.

    Thank you everyone for your help!!

    200€ For WM-F10 is a high price, you could buy a nice WM-10 or 20,
    Anyway hopefully your F10 won't disappoint you

    Right now is the cheapest among the others on ebay... but the wm-f10 is simply the wm-10 with radio (just a bit bulkier), isn't it??

    *the one I bought is WM-F10 II

    WM-F 10 series are not as collectible as WM-10 or WM-20
    But the mechanism and sound is similar

    Maybe, but wm-10 and so were getting out of my budget... Anyway, it will be my first walkman so I can't wait to receive it!
