The challenge was to make them easy accessible and safe at the same time. Units are resting on a L shape plexiglass, that is glued to the board. Board itself is bolted to the wall at an angle, so they also lean back a bit. I made recently LED lights, so it looks more like a display now next problem to solve is to make another display on other wall for 100+ more Walkmans.
Sony coolness! I have something similar for my Pioneer/Carver/Sunfire home gear, but I keep most of my portable gear in small protective cases/bags. Maybe I should rethink that. I used to sell audio as a day gig during the peak of the walkman's popularity. (How did we do it? VOLUME! Unfortunately.) The "walk-off the display" factor probably still operates on me at a subconscious level, I guess. They're easier to ignore and that's probably a bad thing.
Hi, great collection! Bravo for your installation, so cool!...It looks like a contemporary art museum !
In the early days I used to have a ton of Walkmans and a handful of boomboxes, that kind of flipped over the years. Walkmans are much easier to display.
This is EXACTLY how I'd love to display mine one-day. All I'm missing is the home of my own to do this! Absolutely love this!
