I found this lil gem while thrifting the other day that made me genuinely laugh out loud in the store. Have a look: [ATTACH] This in all it's Y2K...
These are certainly the ones to collect... sound amazing when recapped, and you just can't get any more premium than these... I used to have one...
I mean, I personally think all the cd Walkmans are kinda cheap. That's just my opinion though. I've run across them so many times and they always...
Well, I can personally tell you these are far from the last CD Walkmans SONY made. These D-E models you have referenced come from 2001-2002....
Yeah, I should take some videos/photos of the work I've done. I'm not great at documenting these type of repairs because I usually only have time...
Hi Everyone, First off, I can't believe it's been about 6 months since I posted here. A lot has happened since then.... not in this hobby though....
Hello and welcome to the forum, Foxy! The issue is relatively easy to fix, there is a potentiometer inside of the unit that can be turned similar...

Wow, this collection is awesome! I'll throughly enjoy looking through these for sure. I have used Archive.org to download SEGA CD game images, but...
Yes, when the solenoid fails, the unit will not work at all, but my solenoid in both of my SXs were weak. The SX-52's solenoid was so weak it...
Yes, I'm very familiar with that lid design. My SX-55 had the lid that splits in two. It has a very good point. It allows the lid to shrink so you...
