Just got this today. I haven't see many of these in this color. This was the first Aiwa player with Auto Reverse along with the HS-J02 and then later the HS-T02. Soon I'll be posting my small collection of Aiwa's. But for now, enjoy this little beauty.

That is more like a sports walkman

Great find David, I have the Grey version which until now is only color have seen. Definitely not a sport walkman, just a great color on that player.. a classic. How does it sound. Mine needs a belt so dont know about its sound. Much better looking in color , lucky man.

Indeed, this model is very rare. The only other example I've seen is the picture on the Walkman homepage of Pocketcalculatorshow.com, which is, obviously, an advertisement.

Unfortunately mine also needs a belt, but I'll get to that soon enough. I also have a grey version of this walkman but mine is missing the little black panel covering the Play, Stop, Reverse, and FFWD/RWD switches; but both promise to work once they get a new belt, well made. And I love the high quality metal body (except for the cassette door). I do have a HS-T02 which sounds pretty good so I'm guessing this model would sound either as good or better since this model is a little older. I wonder how many colors they had for this model?

Absolutely Beauuuiful. Never seen one this colour before.

i,m with walkgirl,,,looks like a sports model. i got carried away with the yellow ones for a while but finally broke away.
