    Now that I found my orange grail, I can show you the complete family. The blue WM2, as it may be a myth, is invisible in the picture like the original transparent versions of WM2 an WM-F5.

    A long journey is over.
    Thanks for all the knowledge we all share at S2G. Impossible to collect Walkman without this source of wisdom.

    Congrats ! That's quite an achievement @Mystereo , it's all there , the blue WM2 is not a myth but might didn't go beyond the prototype stage , last seen several year ago in the Walkman room (Sony headqurters) but not there in more recent photos.

    Amazing! Do you mind if I upload the picture to Walkman.land? PM me if you have a specific link for credits, like boxedwalkman I usually write: reused with permission.

    The transparent one is a unicorn as discussed in the other thread; should help diagnose the cracked gear and observe the motor/disc engagement.
    D6 and D6C you obviously left out of the picture to test us ;)?

    I’ll send you a PM. The D6(C) don’t fit in my pocket I don’t own one of them. I had to say enough is enough.

    This is by far the most complete picture I have seen, regardless of the D6 family.
    I don’t really consider them portable either, although they might have fit in my 90s grunge wider jeans.
    The 6 colors F5, the later white release of the WM-2, both the DX100 variants close to its big brother and playback king the DD9, this is it!

    Oh sorry! That’s to hard:D Your mission is to poke in the fog. Much more ambitious. You never know when you have finished. Mine was more filling a collector’s album. And I don’t have a single cloneman to help you but much respect! Carry on!

    Cheers to that @autoreverser , I recently got my first (and only) Sony sports device. Different series altogether (NW-S21), worth a celebration though!

    @Mystereo Congrats - this is quite an achievement. The completeness of your collection is extraordinary and unique, as well as your commitment to dig up all these gems and keep them working.

    Wow, I can only say that it's impressive! :emoji_clap:
    I can imagine how long have you been working to get all that.
    I have most of the real DDs (I mean excluding the DD11, DD22 and all that)

    Beside that I think there are only two models missing: the ultra rare WM-D3 without the 'walkman' word embossed (instead it has a 'D3' embossed) and the ultra-elusive Red Boodo Khan....

    The TC-D3 is not a member of the Walkman gang!

    If you have a different opinion, be careful. I have a lethal WM-2.

    Don‘t mess with Somy.
