    Say it isn't so Radio! I'm giving this post four Mickey Mouses....

    Unfortunately I don't do Identity Stealerbook and now you can't see posts without an account so that's off the table. Hopefully you get a little bored and come back, there' still some life around here and there's room for the guy that owned 2-5 of every cool box made. Give us a shout out once in a while!

    Here's my Mickey Mouse Homage, short notice other wise it would have been to the ceiling!

    Okay I see. It is a bit quiet round here, but I guess I don't post much either. Since I am not a collector of anything, I only mainly post about music I am enjoying since to me it's all about the music. Why don't share a few of what you are interested in?

    Hi guys, it may be dead but I find Facebook very scattered and then mixing alot posts without proper timeliness, really Facebook is all over the place. I have to select a group to bot get random stuff and even then the timeline is off.
    At least these sites have organization and ability to search topics.
    Also,
    I have been looking thru ebay, and suddenly see a surge of expensive boomboxes in last month, but also boxes that I never even seen before. Really interesting to look thru ebay.
    Also, on another note, I tried purchasing a box from Japan and have to say they really try to peddle the worst stuff as good. I don't know how they use filters or old pics and then I get the actual box looks 100yrs old.
    Lucky ebay return keeps them from scamming me but I wasted time trying to find a decent "National 7200" box and if from Japan they simply don't know how to ship no matter how much you pay they can't be trusted to ship properly.
    Ugg.
    Also yahoo auctions is truly an only buy no return gamble.
    Anyways I thought I would post here as lastest activity since Radio Raheem posted.

    mate, you‘re one of those i know through this forum for longer than a dog‘s lifetime (or almost…), you‘re supposed to be one of the last men standing as well, means somebody has to switch off the lights here some day (…and i don‘t wanna do that all alone…).
    suffer, baby, suffer and stay :please:

    I have not been on here for years but that's going to change I guess I can't be a hypocrite and call people out for not posting and then I don't post a damn thing.

    I might have something to write about when I open the Jauce parcel that turned up last month on Christmas day.
    Regarding eBay I wonder if collections will start to appear as people get their heating bills and mortgage payments
    (both are going up a lot in the U.K).

    Last week I spent a couple of hours looking around charity shops killing time while waiting for my wife and didn't find anything to tempt me.
    I did buy something and saw something amusing in Dorset Blind Association's shop today. My purchase was Now That's What I call Power Ballards 3 CD set for £1.50.
    For people outside the U.K. the NOW series have always been the original tracks. This one has the likes of Queen Patti Smith Group, and of course Europe and was issued by Sony in 2015. The amusing thing was a few cassettes by artists I didn't recognise in the glass cabinet along with watches, jewellery etc prices at £3 each.

    There can't be a cheaper time to get into CDs than the moment.

    Hey! I just got here. I was told being fashionably late was a sure sign of small analog form factor, coefficient of hipness. (I think I was lied to...)

    Seriously, I'm glad you're staying. It's possible to be on Bassfook and stay secure, but you can't click on "dumb stuff". Most of all in its messaging app.

    It's a lot easier to go in depth here. I received a LOT of help from the walkman faithful here (including most of you guys) and I appreciate both the group and the members I've gotten to know.

    And that now includes you, Radio Raheem! I hope it wasn't my digital breath or something. (Cups hands to mouth...)

    I have a new arrival or two but I haven't had time to rack up any user impression reports about my recently acquired PMD-430's. So, I'll work on having more things to contribute. Just gimme a minute...lol.

    All Internet discussion groups (and I mean all of them) slow down in Summer and don't really pick up again until after the time change. Arguably, Christmas.

    Thing will get busier. This is a very knowledge rich website. I've been able to research the retail pricing and specifications for most of my collection here and without this site, that'd have been considerably harder.

    I'll work on snapping a few pictures to up the eye candy appeal...


    Best to everyone!

    somewhen in the 80’ies i had bought new my wm-d6c for a little fortune - in fact it was from savings from my first 3 proper payments - over the years i forgot about it and it needed me more than 10 years, to decide hoarding walkmen. i managed to purchase a nice wm2 and my first cloneman those days and within the quick growing world wide fooking web i found
    https://www.pocketcalculatorshow.com/ and registered - that was somewhen last millenium ( i think it was 1995 or 1996 ?).
    yeah, the time of chatrooms came much later and the fast growing crowd of idiots, who collected all this useless junk grew in a way, that pocketcalculatorshow became to small - i think that was the birth of (Paul‘s) „stereo2go“.
    there i met so many other then, from other countries, continents, planets etc. what mainly got most together then wasn‘t the fact, that we all collected „society-welfare-junk“, it was the spirit and soul that comes within one of those units, the memories having a party cranking a boombox or the fun you remember having sitting in the schoolbus and blow your walkman in a way, that there was a little air-cushin between earbuds and your ears…
    we discussed our lifestyles with bmx-bikes, fancy cars, homes, motorbikes, hifi-systems, tattoos and and and…

    those days are gone and they won‘t come back, but folks like you, Raheem, Floyd, AO, MisterX and many many more decided to make a commitment to keep treasure with this old lifestyle. me too, that‘s wh i‘m still here - and will stay here, probably untill they carry me out my houe with slippy on my left toe, just before somebody throws boxes full of clonemen in the junk.

    you better stay here, one day we meet in person (promise !), wearing long johns, glasses thick as ahtrays and use a walking-stick…

    edit: and we‘re trying to crank up a boombox (…the fooking thing will probably hae some issues, so that we decide to leave that and enjoy some medicine together instead…)
