Thankies! I will probably do more reviews similar to this as I find stuff. Oh I love Phillip's early 2000s offerings! In fact, My first ever box...
It's supported on the SONY US website with a US manual and warranty card available for download, so I guess it was.
I would love to see some more UGLY boxes in this thread! Not that there's a competition, but finding one as ugly as this might prove challenging....
:noway: I had no idea that the D55 was sold in the US. Wow, that WAS easy!
Well... the G505 came out in 2006, and the AIWA came out in 1999. That's a 7 year difference. I'm not sure what Sony offered in 2001 that would be...
Being that I'm around that age, I certainly do agree with that point, Longman. Albeit I think 80s pop culture will always be very collectible more...
Yep, that's exactly right! I never used the MP3 capability, but I used many of the other features. I loved and cherished this unit for many years...
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...

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...
Very interesting! I also have some CDs for my unit, but I left out that from my analysis and focused on the audio stuff. Yeah, Caddies are...
Hello Stereo2Go, I thought I would share another jewel from my collection. This was technically considered portable and 'compact' back in its...
Ahh, you have one of THOSE capstan setups, aye? I've heard horror stories about these, but my SXs' were never 'fortunate' enough to have this....
Welp, I think we have officially reached the end of my troubleshooting list then... I'll keep thinking though. :banghead: It's very frustrating...
Two things I experienced on my SX-55 you can do just to rule them out: [ATTACH] The red circle. Check to make sure that the motor's pins haven't...
Good question! No alignment is necessary, the powerful magnet should self align the disc on top of the motor coil. You just have to be careful...
