I have just found a WA55 and want any information about these. Thank you.
In my view the cumbersome WA-55 was the pincale of Sony's 'style'.
It's an early unit, from around 1983 I recall. It was based around the old Pressman TCS-300 unit but with a stereo circuit board & a radio added plus a tiny speaker. Not too sure what this unit was trying to be, a radio, a boombox, a walkman, a recorder, sadly it did none of them particualriy welll but it had great lines.
The 55 was the first of many WA units but by far the nicest.

Thank you Agent Orange. The WA55 I have purchased is mint condition unboxed. One owner never used. If I get enough knowledge how to put photographs on the site I'll do so.
