I always thought that the Aiwa HS-P2 and J2 were the first walkmans to have the label "CassetteBoy" but that all changed when I got this beautiful CS-J1S in the mail. This one is in amazing condition. The belt is weak so it doesn't play, but at least I know for sure it's not gooey. It should work great, once I get around to replacing the belt.

Does anyone know if the TP-S30 was released as a CassetteBoy?




With my TP-S30

Great pics, great pair but you need one more...

Thanks Agent. It would be nice to have a HS-F1 but those don't show up on ebay much. But for now I'm very happy with these two gems. I did see a HS-P1 on http://www.vintagepersonalstereos.com/aiwa.html
but it's a little pricey.

My TP-S30 works quite well. I hope to get the CS-J1 working sometime in December or January, along with the rest of my walkmans.

Hi David, FANTASTIC pair best of the first models and they look pristine condition externally. You may want to make your photos just a tad smaller as even on my 24 inch monitor I still have to scroll left to see all of picture. Really clear and focused pictures btw. Hats off to you very good photography.
I have a TP-S30 and it does not say cassette boy and I have never seen a TP-S30 with that designation on it. One might exist though as so many models and sub divisions of them none of us have seen yet. GO HUNTING ~

Thanks John. I made the pics a little smaller. I think I'll stick with this size from now on. My favorite picture is the last one. I love the way the light catches the walkmans and makes the silver look so nice. I used only natural light in these pictures and it was a slightly cloudy day...perfect!

I can't wait to find out how well the CS-J1 sounds. The TP-S30 sounds great and plays great too. I put a video on Youtube.

It's not the best quality, but I'll try making a better one in the future.
