So close to 80,000 hits! Maybe this will put it over, from the great magazine, The Boston Phoenix 1982. I think I have all of the models listed in the first part, none of the crappy plastic-fantastic models at the end. These are some of my favorites, some big and clunky some tiny like the WM-II, which could have sold just on it's good looks alone.
New for 1983, I wonder if the "threaded tape spindles" really help W&F, I should get mine up and running and see. I'm curious how that system works.
Walkman WM-F5 Review, 1983, nine hours with two batteries, that's why I used to like the ones with a radio, you could still listen to the radio when the tape deck quit playing.
Sony ripped off the Walkman? From 1992, there's some nuggets in here about UHER being involved, kind of......
This little guy has come up for discussion here, they call it the Sony Sheet, it's a credit card size radio! From 1985
I did not know where to put this, so here: automotive and personal playback-only machines were a reprieve from "the blank taping crisis".
