    Hi,

    I am Burak from Istanbul, Turkiye. I owned a Toshiba KT-VS1 Walkman in my childhood and want to buy a working one. Any help appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum Burak! I would watch the auction sites, the model comes up for sale regularly.

    welcome aboard Burak
    As @Mister X mentioned it is not hard to find KT-VS1, almost all of them on Ebay are not working since changing belt on this model requires some soldering to get access to the movement part.
    This model comes in different colors, blue, res and light gray (silver).
    there are some on ebay but considered junk, there is a red one on Mercari refurbished and available.

    The actual price with a boxed walkman in mint and working condition should be around $140. this one is red and it makes the price around $175. But as you see it is priced very high since there is no competition in the market.
    By the way, I have plan to visit Istanbul, never been there but I heard is a beautiful place to visit.
