Long story but I just came into a HUGE Sony walkman collection, mostly Japanese, mostly in the original box with manuals etc even though most boxes are beat up. If anyone has any information on these I would really appreciate the feedback especially when it comes to value. A ton of them I simply can't just google and find. They are likely going to ebay. Here are the model numbers, they are all SONYs:
Sony Cassette Walkmans:
SRF-75 (outback series?) WM-AF64 WM-AF604 WM-F47 WM-FX56 WM-FX52 WM-FX507 WM-FX509 (x2) WM-FX511 WM-FX613 WM-GX50 WM-GX90 WM-GX414 WM-GX508 (x2) WM-K1 (x2) WM-WX50 *wireless walkman from 1987 with an antennae on the headphones*
Congratulations on your find. I'd love to hear the story about how you came into such a large number of walkmans!
Most of these appear to be from the early '90s. That you have the original boxes and heaphones is a plus. Definitely test them out before putting them up for sale.
New old stock from an electronics store, still with the original price tags on. Many of the boxes are a bit beat up but overall pretty great. I will try and get some photos posted tomorrow.
