    I've found this lovely WM- 100 in my storage and need the battery compartment.[GALLERY=media, 1349]Walkman WM-100 by Albatraze posted Aug 29, 2019 at 7:17 AM[/GALLERY] I bought a WM-f100III hoping the compartment would be the same, but it didn't fit. I would like to know if anyone is selling a WM-100 or if anyone knows where to find a replacement battery compartment. Below is the WM-f100III battery compartment, it looks almost exactly like the WM-100 compartment except no DC input hole.

    join the queue!
    very tough to get hold of - need one myself -
    ..I will be buying a 3d printer later in the year so there are some possibilities there

    I managed to source some NOS battery holders for these models - but not one that perfectly fits my WM-101 or the WM-100

    I have put one on eBay this afternoon - please check the 'classified' section for more details

    Funny enough, I actually just purchased a Sony Walkman WM-F100 off eBay, (same as the F100ii and F100iii) and it needs one of the elusive battery clips as well.

    So I’m curious- I’m on the hunt for the f100iii battery compartment. Did you buy that separately somewhere? If you are interested in selling it or have any tips on where you found it that’d be super appreciated!

    I just found a WM-F100 and am currently in search of the same battery holder (Sony #EPB-10). I have a 3D printer and the means to make these, I'm just having trouble finding dimensions or anything I could make a CAD model from. I could just start from scratch but I would like to retain the styling, possibly make one for the gum stick battery too... Anyway, If anyone knows where I could find this information online, or has one they would be willing to draw in Solidworks, please let me know.

    EDIT:
    I should note that my intention is to provide these at cost to the community as they are very difficult to find.
