The Ultimate SONY Walkman...

walkman.archive - 2011-12-28 07:24

I've found an image of some kind of strange Sony walkman, that seems to be a cheap chinese copy... that even has AIWA's Superbass system! LOL!

It's like a Frankestein Walkman, with some AIWA stuff and some SONY stuff in the same unit...

 

Sony Walkman monster

 

Did you ever see anything like this?

You should maybe design cars my friend. A new 911 perhaps?

I was saving this photo on my Hdd until today, so I knew you will act like this ;-) specially after my fake :-D

Today is the joking day in Spain, like April fool's day, and I thought this will be funny, so you think it's a fake, but this time I can tell you that it's tru!. At least, if it's a fake, it's not done by me.
You go to www.shizaudio.ru, search for 'Sony' and this image will appear.

Check it out here: http://www.shizaudio.ru/wm/cat...a504085b403cfefa93e5

In fact, a user called 'jazzrat2000' uploaded that image on 2008...

Convinced? ;-)

Hope you had a funny moment again...

A complete boodo khan is Probably in my opinion the Ultimate, along with anniversary models

walkman.archive - 2012-10-07 01:39

i bet corry meant SonWa aka Aiwny 

walkman.archive - 2012-10-07 02:23

Oh, got it. Sorry. At first sight, "SonWa" sounds like a very small, almost unknown chinese or korean brand that focuses in release crappy products mainly copied.

Then it could be SonyWa or AiwaNy ;-)

raymond queneau, the french writer, worked for a long time on an (unfinished) encyclopaedia of inexact sciences. eventually his project became a novel, les enfants du limon (children of clay). jorge louis borges, the argentinean writer, wrote the book of imaginary beings, a sort of xx century update of medieval bestiaries--you know those books describing the phoenix the unicorn and the chimera, among other mythic animals. so maybe as the_walkman_archive you may contemplate the idea of filing away also the inexact/imaginary walkmen like the Sanwa/Aiwny on display at www.shizaudio.ru

Is Grundig BB285 the Orginal model or is it the Sony version? 

Does anybody know?

What is so special about this one, ( other than looking like parts of other brands ) any technical data known?
