Value depends lot on color as Red is much more valuable than Black or Silver.  You did not mention color. Sounds like a great addition especially boxed.  Congrats

Bang on the money if you ask me.  Can we see a pic?

found one a hour ago at a local fleamarket for two euros  sure it wasnt boxed

mine has fwd too, will look for the serial nr. later

Hi all,

opening an old thread...

just bought a red one. complete in the box, all is there (even the demo-tape) and including the bill from april first 1983 for just 80 euro's!

there is just one problem: at playback it will shut off after a while.

i figure it will be a belt-replacement??

i havnt got it jet, expect it on tuesday, but i have already a picture of it.

congratz ... i received the same model today, but used and faulty (moves slowly and doesn`t want to work with cassette). but nevermind, i want it for USING. great design, love it ^_^...

Why do my pics keep disapering? :-(

Was watching a few WM-2's also on the bay but the potential issues (split gear)are too much of a risk methinks. Doubt if anyone in Ireland could fix a broken one. 

Are you uploading the pics on this site from your computer or from a 3rd party host?

I find third party hosts have very limited bandwidth and therefore kill the image quickly...better to save them to your computer and then post them from there.

Hi Brutus,

i think i have to try that.

I was uploading with my Ipad, at first they appear and stay for a while before disapearing for good.

i will try and post this photo tomorrow with my pc.

Show us pics Neat buy!

I love the wm-2's doorlock, it's tight.

Let's try it this way.....

i was lucky ... seller said : doesn`t work with cassette, or only very slow...

was an old belt. i only had to order a new one ^^ ... gear is perfect ^_^ ...

oooh!

That's better!

I love the RED.. 

Great unit!

Finaly it arrived!!

Cosmeticly flawless, not a scratch.

All is included: headphones with red and black foams, battery-pack, purchase-bill, demo-tape, warrenty-card, accessory-flyer, usermanuel, and offcourse the box.

It is number 906515, and has the normal play-button.

It was bought on the 4th of April 1983

only thing there is, is that the belt needs replacement. (i wonder if i dear to open it....)

Looks stunning..........envy.

//////////// Now thats a keeper for LIFE !!  Thats nicest totally complete set of everything of a WM-2 have ever seen.   I have the red with belt clip and orig. headphones but nothing else.   Great player for sure.  Green with Envy

Oh btw great clear photos.

well.. if you only want to keep it in the box, you don`t need to replace anything... if i were you, i`d have one to use and listen to, and this one for showcase ...

Personally, I'd get it going. Shame to see a beauty like that lying idle. Admirers must keep their distance though. I'm always stunned to see how a 30 yr old design could easily compete with a modern high end device. You have to give Sony credit for design.

You know how much i was spoiled???

He even threw in a Sony 9-band reciever ICF-SW20 in the box, with also al paperworks and mono headphones!

This one is dated august 19th 1993.

My question: is this "worlds smallest boombox"??? ;-)

Sorry for upside-downers.....

mhh mhh ...  agree until the point comes, where private collectors should think about keeping things in mint conditions for further generations... well, WM-2 isn`t a rare device at all, but its a 32 yrs. old piece for museum ...

/thats the reason, why i prefer to buy things in used condition. can`t see an old beauty sratched by myself ..

or maybe its the biggest head of the world ...

;-)

Mmmmm, Marktplaats? 

Jup had m gezien

ik zie alles!    

Ok, decided to open her up for a belt-change.

But.....

i took of the volume-"roll"?, but the mechanics keep stuck on the volume-pod.

does annybody know why?

Don't want to break it.......

Jij enig idee hoe je die wm2 uit elkaar trekt?

Nee, maar mn broer wel

DOe eens wat alcohol op t knopje, dat heeft bij de mijne ook geholpen!!

Yep uit Delft zeker...)

Nee hoor, dat kan ik niet betalen

ik woon eenvoudig en simpel

Ik bedoel de Walkman...haha....

Oh, ik dacht in Delft wonen  

Walkman was uit Delft ja Michiel.

Ik heb dat niet gezien, ik vin MP maar nix tegenwoordig!!!  

Klopt ja, heel erg veel louche typje's tegenwoordig!

bieden, maar nooit reageren, of iets aanbieden en nooit reageren op mail.

mentaliteits-kwestie.... 

Guys, for the benefit of the others can I request we stick to English?

Well Agent, wen it was not for a symbolic Fl1,- you were all speaking Dutch!!        

Ja, ik had ook nog contact met ze in Delft. Maar doos stond al voor je klaar... Dit was dus wel een okay verkoper... Gewoon maar ff in Nederlands, want als ik Engels type reageert er toch ook geen hond haha...)

Er, OK. Something about dogs I think. Love that Google Translate

Yeah lol, it was about dogs.... But from now on I'll stay in English....
