New here, looking specifically for a working PINK Toshiba KT-AS10 or KT-v500 to gift to my daughter as a sentimental gift for her wedding. Long story but I had one as a kid when I lived in Japan in the 80's and some punk stole it from me when I went back to school in the states. Kind of a story between me and my youngest, and it would be a great sentimental gift for her with meaning. Found this forum and hope this might be the place to find it. Thanks in advance.
wow, what dull punk steals a pink walkman Joey, it’s sort off a mission finding a decent KT-AS10 anyway, but a pink one ? anyway, good luck !
I know man, right? Kids. Anyway, yeah it's a big ask to find one. I am on a mission! Thanks for the good luck!
Welcome to the forum, good luck, you'll want to keep an eye on yahoo.jp auctions. I've only seen pink in advertisments. Here's a basic search if you don't know how to do it https://search.yahoo.co.jp/image/search?p=Toshiba KT-AS10 I found this page, not sure what it is, once in awhile you find Japanese Stuff imbedded in other's websites. https://harmonyclinics.net/abby.php?ksaszxf6939netidm2 https://harmonyclinics-net.translat...uto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Here's one that looks a little roached out, it's going for silly money, shipping charges will be on top of it. Buyee is a "proxy" service, they will get the item and ship it internationally. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g1075833020 https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/g1075833020?lang=en&rc=yaucc_mod
Another in Hong Kong, never used this service, don't know if they'll ship internationally. https://www.carousell.com.hk/p/toshiba-walky-kt-as10-便攜式卡帶播放器-1166724590/
Really appreciated. Thank you for these. I saw one of them but not the other two. Good info on the Yahoo auctions. I saw that "Kent" posted a few different colors on here in 2015 0r 2016, but looks like he was not selling just sharing (now I can't find the link), but his were in excellent condition.
At this time no pink KT-AS10 is on sale. This item shows up on yahoo Japan about once or twice/year (on average). Even if you find it it needs a good service and repairing of this model walkman is not easy. Belt installation require significant desoldering work. I don't want to disappoint you but If you want your gift to be practical and last longer there are better options available.
