Best deals: Walkmans

If I had known about this sooner I would have pulled the trigger, what a shame. This is a great deal for a top-of-the-range unit.

 

Sorry I have posted the above on the wrong topic as there is no Deal but I hope it was of interest

 

Hi Machanaus

I have only just noticed your post re theYPPY STAND . It is not small . Is it? Thanks so much for the pic of it as i always wondered what it looked like .
I cannot work out what machines are on the stand as they all look the same and not at ll like the YPPY models.Do you happened know what they are ?

 

AIWA Ladies' Collection LX200 in beautiful red color for $39
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Walkman-AIW...590207?hash=item420ae485ff:g:KQQAAOSwoBFdliUh


PROS:
fully working condition
red color
appropriately priced

CONS:
shipping is $20.00 (probably not bad for international shipping)
significant scratches/ marks on twin lock chrome

 

Also historic with the markings "Ladies Collection". Like a recent advert in which a Husband buys his wife an exercise bike for Christmas, that would be deemed sexist these days.

 

Boodokhan with its original box and all accessories is available for collectors. I will be bidding on this auction as well. If any members wants this one then I will avoid bidding. Please let me know.

PROS:
very hard to find a Boodokhan with all accessories.
walkman cosmetic condition is excellent

CONS:
there is no fix price/ Buy it Now option. Expect the price to go up on last minutes/ seconds
Box shows some damages at the corners.
headphone is faulty
case needs some repair (the plastic part)

I have One of these that I have yet to open as I am nostaligic about whom I was bidding against back then, Mine is just the player - no headphones with it and one is enough for me, so happy bidding as this is way out of my price range - Yes I know exactly where mine is at - see picture IMG_3701 Sony DD-100 Boodo Khan Walkman

 

stitching new transparency into original DD-100 cover might be a fun project for the proud owner

One Question: is it true that Boodokhan model also had an optional powered pillow/subwoofer for an extra "kick in the butt"?

 

Yes it has a seat with extra base speakers in it which was originally given to show rooms for display purposes I recall. There used to be one up for sale on E - bay from a Russian seller for About 1500 Dollars I recall

 

I really would like to bid on this one Boodokhan but I fear the price will be far more than I would want to pay. Good luck with your bidding

 

It is true but i dont have that item. Late John Edward had it and placed this following topic about it. Here is the picture :

How very interesting and detailed and what a lucky guy to find that one complete

 

Coincidentally I have found another Boodokan up for sale but without the accessories and the price is about the same at the moment as the other one but it is a Buy it Now so it is easier to secure if you want to get one

Boodo Khan body system BBS-10 looks like a Grand Idea to me! Such a shame that only 200-300 collectors have it now... and they are are Not eager to part with them: extra push for the back (sorry folks, I thought its for the tummy!) might do a miracle for my lower back pains, esp if my all-time-favorite Klaus Schulze is jamming
And extra push for the headphones: brilliant!!!
Nowadays we live in a Golden Age of h/p listening, real weird that no-one picked up on this Sony idea

 

I have no worries about my benefactor @Boodokhan - he has quite a few of DD-100 already

But I am seriously worried about these awesome BBS-10 thingies: we Must get one of those!!!

 

Well I found a manual at least

Ha! its a Start!
Only 300 (or less!) being made: this will be on my "watch" list


On the other hand, Sennheiser "Orpheus" sets are hitting eBay by those who upgraded... "What a poor boy should Do? [that was from Genesis' tune, not me!]
