I thought it would be nice to share some of my series (same model but different colour). The AIWA HS-P08 & G08 in Red. This player was the most advanced walkman player back in 1895, with a big pack of features. The G08 is one of my favorites: And here the silver brothers: The AIWA P02, if I'm not wrong, it's the first autoreverse from AIWA. Interesting that it has a noise reduction filter but not Dolby, something pretty rare (I bet it's the HighCom). The AIWA J700. This walkman has a hybrid transport, with the play mechanical, but the reverse and FF/REW, logical. It's very curious. The white one is really beautiful and extremely rare: The AIWA P08 Series. Pretty difficult to complete this series. Now I also have the pink and black ones, but still didn't update the photo: Four different SONY WM-10: The world's two first walkmans with bass amplification: (more info in my article about the Boodo Khan here) My three favorite DD by design: (left to right) the WM-DC2, DD100 (aka Boodo Khan) and DD33. All three shares the same base design: Three top recorders from different years: the SONY D5 ProII, WM-D6C (sucessor), and the WM-R202, the smallest walkman recorder in 1986: The WM-7, first walkman with autoreverse, logic control and remote: The TCM-600 (pre-TPS-L2), the original, very first generation TPS-L2 and the common, latest one: The 'curious' WM-503 in dark grey (rugous finish) and WM-504 with transparent door (pretty cool with a beautiful tape). The WM-600, a very beautiful design: The famous WM-701C, a walkman that marked a beginning of a new era (please check my extense article about this model in my website): My loved WM-B39, a walkman from my teenage. Not a top-class model (one of the best mid-class in those years) but well featured yet: My two first WM-DD, silver and red: The WM-555, also one that I've had when I was teen (I bought one silver second hand back in 1996): The famous WM-2, DD predecessor. Almost the same external design, but yet belt driven: And the two real golden most advanced walkmans from different brands, Panasonic and AIWA: Look forward to see your series!
pic not as proffessional as yours, but here my favourites: WM-5 in black and silver (...they share the pre-DD-mechanics with the WM-2's) I love the volume-level behind a little window - and b.t.w. the silver one I got ages ago from JohnEdwards
Well, not. It's the only colour I don't have from the series. And the rarest. I remember John's post sharing their WM-5 yet. I miss him.
Very beautiful pictures of amazing Walkmans. Thanks for sharing I add Somm pictures of those models that were not placed in this topic and avoid the repeated one [GALLERY=media, 609]IMG_0158 by Boodokhan posted May 7, 2017 at 2:19 PM[/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 608]IMG_0155 by Boodokhan posted May 7, 2017 at 2:17 PM[/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 607]IMG_0154 by Boodokhan posted May 7, 2017 at 2:17 PM[/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 606]IMG_0160 by Boodokhan posted May 7, 2017 at 2:05 PM[/GALLERY]
Indeed very rare units, Boodo. thanks for adding them. I only miss that U07 in red. The TV sharp I guess they are the most rare together with the W800 (japanese, right?)
the gray WM-W800 in the picture is the Japanese version. I bought that red Aiwa U07 is from "SKIPPY" who was a member of old forum and sadly hasn't registered to new forum yet.
