    hallo Freunde, ich bin gerade etwas verwirrt ,
    ersteigerte einen Sony TPS-L2 für wenig Geld (warum weis ich nun )
    der besitzt den Schriftzug Walkman nicht, ist dann wohl eine
    billige Kopie aus China, oder was soll das. ????
    habe hier mal 2 Beispiel Bilder mit aufgeführt aus Ebay,
    also entweder habe ich da nun eine Kopie gekauft,
    oder es gibt wohl 2 verschiedene Modelle seltsam. ????
    der Walkman aus Guardians of the Galaxy, hat übrigens den Schriftzug Walkman. wer weis von euch mehr darüber, danke für die Info. :-(

    hello friends, I'm a little confused, bought a Sony TPS-L2 for little money (why do I know now)
    it does not have the lettering Walkman, it is probably one
    cheap copy from China or what is that. ????
    I have 2 example pictures from Ebay,
    so either I bought a copy there,
    or there are probably 2 different models strange. ????
    the Walkman from Guardians of the Galaxy,
    by the way, has the lettering Walkman.
    who knows more about you, thanks for the info. :-(

    There are different versions of TPS-L2 Sony made at different time. So both models are made by Sony. There are more versions in the market, like this one:

    The most collectible one is GUYS & DOLLS version:

    Depending on where it was sold it could be a Sony Stowaway or a Sony Soundabout.

    Whether there were any plans to launch a Gehenmann or Blinder Passagier in Germany I don't know:hmmm
    They quickly realised that using the one name Walkman worldwide was easier.

    the Walkman comes from France and is in mediocre condition, I paid 40 euros plus shipping. I will see if I regret if he is there. hope i can restore the good piece a little.
