Looking for some of the smaller walkmans that I had when I was a kid. Budget is a little flexible depending on condition. Would love to findd a WM-10RV. I am not too picky as far as color goes. Thanks for any help. BP

Do you know if they ever produced the WM-40 with FM? I had a friend in grade school give me a WM-10, which got lost in a move 15 years ago.  I just love the precision engineering in these old walkmans from the early 80's.

There wasn't a radio version of the WM-40 to my knowledge.  This walkman was the classic example of Sony over-engineering with that over complex hinge/extension mechanism to achieve what was a very questionably beneficial function.

 

Check the catalogue scans in the stats section as there's the original 82 brochure for the WM-40

The WM-40 WM-10RV have auto-reverse

and it there is a matching tuner modul.

 

I suspect you have lost the WM-F10.

 

Oh yes!! WM-40 is a very nice walkman.

That is a beautiful piece. I have been scoping Ebay for one. I can't imagine paying what some people have them listed for!?! Maybe I will get lucky one day and find a deal.
