Found these 2 this weekend. Aiwa HS-J500 This one is packed with features. Nice solid feel to it. Radio works but cassette may require a belt. A bit scratched up but couldn't resist bringing this home.

Also found this nice National Panasonic RX-F80 this is part of a mini music system which was not included in my purchase. That's ok, this walkman has everything needed. Tape counter, AM/FM, Stereo Recording and more. I really like this one, like the color and the feel. I like the unusual desing and layout of the big buttons.

Lucky bastard LOL!! So want an HS-J08. Also want HS-G08 HS-G09 HS-J09 Am willing to pay around $1000 NZ Dollars to any one willing to part with one

Definitely great additions I especially love the Panasonic its for sure unique with the large buttons and layout... Color is great too definitely all RETRO.. congrats How does the Pan sound ?

Thanks John Edward. The tape on the Pan has a bit of wooble to it. Will probably need to replace the belt and give it a good cleaning. Add another to the list of walkmans I need to fix. The radio sounds good though.

Took me a few seconds to find the battery compartment on this one. I didn't expect it to be inside the tape deck compartment.

Very nice finds!
I have the Aiwa walkman also,but mine doesn't work right now.
I have the same Panasonic walkman as you have.
It goes to as boombox/walkman combo.
Here is mine.

The aiwa is great!
