Hi, I am looking to buy the silver frame part for the TPS-L2. I need one for mine, since it is in really bad condition compared to the rest of it. If you have one you could sell, please message me, if it's in good condition I'll buy it!
TPS-L2 is a pricey walkman. It is very unlikely to find this part in excellent cosmetic condition. You can work on this part and make it as new. you need to spray paint it with the right color and print the lettering by a flatbed UV printer. Most flatbed UV printers can easily print on parts if the height of the object is less than 2 inches.
That is an idea, I already have taken this frame to a shop to get it professionally repainted with the use of an airbrush, they still haven't done it yet though. But at the time of starting this thread I was hoping to just buy one in better condition, perhaps from a TPS-L2 that was destroyed by leaked batteries, for example. It didn't have to be pristine, just better than mine. UV printing sounds nice, but how would I go about finding a shop that would print on something like this? All of them in my area seem to deal only with printing in mass quantities.
Most of the "sign shops" have some form of UV flatbed printing. I got a lot of experience with my previous project " Acrylic printing". To me making this silver part too look like new is not a difficult task.
Okay, thank you. I will attempt to find a shop that could print on this frame once it gets back to me from being painted.
