[ATTACH] Here we have the small Sony hands again, pulling the walkman from side to side to extend the body, so a tape will actually fit in. This...
[ATTACH] The WM-30 is another piece of art. Beautifully designed if you ask me, with the "striped aluminum" look. This may sound as a silly...
[ATTACH] The supplied headphones are the MDR-E242, a common size these days but incredibly small back then.
[ATTACH] The WM-30, successor of the WM-20 foldable walkman (more on those later). Opening the box reveals the fantastic WM-30, earphones, a bag...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] After the WM-7, another unboxing. And what a box it is. I really love it. The old Walkman logo with the feet always makes me...

[ATTACH] Adding the Sharp JC-5, very similar to the JC-7
I've also never seen this before, but I'm pretty sure it belongs there as it's perfectly matched with the buttons etc and it doesn't look...
[ATTACH] Concluding with details about the JC-7 that I really like a lot: -The AUTO REVERSE text has pixelized arrows next to it - graphical...
[ATTACH] What I really like about the Sharp JC-(N)7 is the mechanical tape controls. The buttons are on the "top" of the player, and if you push...
By the way, anybody who has opened a WM-2, WM-101 or similar knows this: The middle part of these dials is actually a screw, a very innovative way...
