I'm new to S2Go, and love all the info. and nice people.

Anyways, here is a first shot of my collection. I just pulled everything out, set them up,

and to a quick photo, sorry for a lame first picture. I'll will be following this up with better and closer up shots..

Thanks for peaking into my addiction..

Now, I don't understand how you can have a collection like this and never have heard of Stereo2Go until now.  This is an enthusiasts collection, I'm seeing boxed WM-10's & 20's plus a WM-40 down there and those boxed JVC's look top, top drawer.

Explain yourself?  Where have you been hiding?

Out of respect for your collection and your new friends here in the Walkman section we demand that you take pics of each unit and list them.

Holy Geez.....that's some collection. I shall bid you welcome friend!

and how long have you been lurking here?

I think I came across Stereo2Go maybe a year ago, stopped by once in a while, bookmarked it, now it's in my to 5 sites to check into all most daily now.

@agentorange  Pictures are forth coming, just have to set up a place to start shooting.

By the way, I'm in Minneapolis, Mn for anyone that cares.

Thanks for the warm welcome, been lurking about a year....sad I haven't joined up until now, but here I am.

Another Great collection. Being in New Zealand we dont have the variety of units locally that you guys manage to get overseas. One needs deep pockets and an Ebay account lol. Will be taking better pics of mine then i have a huge job of scanning all the service manuals i have for sony walkmans. I rescued them from being dumped so have two boxes of service manuals in storage

A most warm and enthusiastic welcome to a true enthusiast collector !  AND one with impeccable taste and knowledge of valuable collectable models.  I see you have focused on Sony and JVC.  Sony I understand it seems by default we all have the most of this brand in our collections but am curious what made you focus on JVC.  They are excellent build and sound although very very tough to repair work on so I have heard from those that repair theirs. You have many very desirable units in your collection.  For beauty my favorite is hands down the Sony WM-EX9 which you have at the bottom right with its 10 colors it changes to.  I have a mint one and a bit beat up one that is a daily user that I switch among many.   Do a search under "Most beautiful 10 color" to see topic on the EX9.

You will find we REALLY love lots of clear well done photos and explanations when it comes to Walkman.  I would suggest using some simple backgrounds like solid color towels or sheets, White or colored poster board to keep focus on Walkman and not surroundings.  Bright sunlight is grand for metallics and you will find the shooting from slight to moderate angles often gets best photo.   I love flash but you really have to take like 50 shots many angles to eliminate the glare off of player from flash to get say 6 great shots all sides but can be done.   Sometimes I find the zooming in 30-50% and setting on Macro allows the flash to be stronger yet still get a good focus.  If shooting too close the flash is very weak. Moving farther away allows the flash to create a much more evenly lighted subject.  All depends on camera its just something you play around with.  Using a tripod is good sometimes too but limits trying many angles.  I love taking photos of mine.  

HURODAL is a very respected member with a impeccable collection and his own Walkman website that is a must visit.  Here is link to a topic he did on How to take pictures of Walkman.
