Hello!
Please note links above are affiliated where possible to support the channel. Thank you for your understanding. Links are affilated where possible which means I may recieve a small comission. Thank you!
I was a Sony Main dealer in central London. My rep invited me to a hotel in Park Lane for the launch of the first Walkman.
I met Mr Morita. What surprised me most was the initial response of my competitors in the trade who were slightly negative saying that it was over £100 and didn't record which was how they saw the market. I jumped at the opportunity to buy as many a I could from the original trial shipment. Within a month I had other dealers asking me to sell some of my stock at trade price.

What the warning meant to say was - This video contains audio technology which is around 40 years old. I would advise you listen to this video through your speakers and have your finger on the volume button. Additionally, we are talking about an era of mono sound... so unless you want your -ear- to bleed... listen on SPEAKERS!
love the trigger warning for headphone users :)
do you happen to know where you can get new motors for the player? i got my sony walkman the one from GotG but my motor froze up:/
I just recently bought a TCM-600 not working and I was testing it and turns out the motor doesn’t spin. Know anywhere where I can get a replacement?
同感です。❤そう思いました。👍
Good old Walkmans. You seem in love with Cassette players recently
Oh my gosh I kind of left this channel for a while but I came back Your channel has grown drastically and your video quality is now way better you have improved a lot I remember when you were under 5k subscribers and your videos were not so popular but than your channel skyrocketed keep up the amazing work!
My dad has a Sony Walkman II (WM-2) which doesn't play cassettes properly anymore. I would love for it to be fixed and in working condition one day
Try replacing the belt! It'll feel really satisfying
I would happily repair it. most likely the belt or center cog/gear.
This is by far the only video in so much detail regarding these awesome walkmans
Great vid elliot! "Buy them before they get expensive ..." ... ummm they are already expensive lol. Love Sony design from the hayday of portable audio, in a way it's too bad everything has been replaced by smartphones.
More expensive at least... Thanks!
Bought the later stereo version of this, the TCS-430. Slightly updated, different buttons more like the wm3, but still, stereo!
Oh they are cool! I have seen them
Just hope I can find the right belts when it gets here. Might try your rubber band trick.... please make more walkman videos, I watch your channel for the gmeboy vids, but your walkman vids are both instructional and beautiful
@@blakeromo you should try getting those belts from Hong Kong, sometimes they're a pretty good replacement
Yeah, I've seen many variations of the Walkman.
Apparently, there's a lot of them, because these are a few that I've never seen (or don't recall seeing). At any rate, thanks for sharing.
Yeah these are old! You're welcome!
Nice vid. Very enjoyable.
But you missed out the 1979 Sony original TPS-L2. You feature the later 1980 TPS-L2 b. The difference is the earlier 1979 Version doesn't have the Word Walkman on the front. But has The Word Stereo written on the front in white. The Sony logo is also smaller and written in white on the 79 edition.
Thanks for this video!
ii was looking about vintage Walkman content and this videos was exactly what iwas looking for! To understand better from what the TPs L2 is comming from.
How did you managed to get these three iconic walkman in such a good condition?
thanks
I love this video, thank you and well done. I’ve just bought a few bits of retro tech and some bits I already have and this is fantastic. Thank you for your well explained well executed video. 😃😃😃😃
thank you for making these videos even if they didn’t get as many views as your other stuff. They help so mich
I really REALLY want a walkman but all of the ones like that are like 400-600 bucks at the cheapest
I love your videos even now there still really good because of u a started collecting retro stuff I have a snes gameboy color Walkman and a polaroid thank u for getting me into to this hobby keep up the good work
Does anyone know the difference between the TCM-100 and the TCM-600? They appear to look the same
Nice that you showed sound quality on the proper equipment. Actually, it's quite good. :)
We put tape over top cassette holes to record pre recorded/store cassettes 😆
I had the tcm131 not sure what happened to it but I've just got another one from e by coming soon
Great editing there Elliot, nice to see Graham again!
Its not Graham! It's a fake plant!
Hysterical made my day so funny demoing this being of an age that grew up with this. His book is a bit incorrect regarding boom boxes well in the UK anyway. Most teens like myself hung around in groups that were into a particular type of music and would have a boom box but we all had personal stereos as well no one could afford a Walkman they were just to expensive. So we were using boom boxes til around 1985.
Thats amazing! Love hearing stories like that. I had a portable CD player in a camouflage colour!
I used boomboxes for a while the hitachi 3d8 3d superwoofer was great but it went through battery fast with the volume up still it sounded better than the kids of today that have tiny mono blutooth speakers in there pocket in my day everyone got to listen to our music whether they wanted to or not ,At school we used the saisho amplified speaker bags with our walkmans . www.flickr.com/photos/yibb2/4731052887/lightbox/
I think the TCM-600 was aimed at the business recording and dictation market. Our offices purchased them for all the very senior managers.
音楽と会議などで分けて使用しました。👍
That‘s some smooth editing man
Thank you!
Cool vintage video love it! Really wnat one of them walkmans!
I found this video very very interesting you should do more videos like this
Sony made some nice looking walkmans
What adapter can I get to use the Sony TCM100b with stereo headphones? I also need to get it repaired.. I think the belt might be broken because the wheels won't spin :(
4:30 TDK SA - these are the cassettes I bought tons of at Aldi in the 1990s. :-D
Still got your mixtapes!!?? Take them out and give them a listen!
Unfortunately I've lost nearly all of them over the years. Even the ones I used in my 4-Track tape machine to record my own songs and improvisations at the time are gone.
I bought one, used to take it to work, still use one, Sony brand .
they do look awesome, I daren't start collecting something else. I wonder how big your collection will be by the end of 2018
I have too many already! My sister loves her walkman btw, you are a legend!
You have walkman. So where Star Lord, Groot and Rocket.
They were filming!
When did the Excellent WM-3EX came out?
where you buy it :(( i cannot found some online shop sell this walkman.
Hey I recently picked up a tcm-12 I was kinda curious what year it could be all white with blue stripe running down the front
Love that tcm-600 nice looking unit the early units are nice looking i got to one needs belts a tcm-8ev the other is a cheap chinese made unit that have not much love for .I have recently bought some pocket tv,s a casio tv-1400 and a cheap boxed citizen not sure why, but the will go with my sinclair pocket tv and my other casio tv400 they never cost much they kind of look cool even if they are horrible to watch any thing on .
Hi I bought a WM-3. Works great except I get a change insound quality every time I turn my headphone's jack. My headphones work just fine on my other walkmans. How could I fix this?
the contacts inside the headphone jack have probably been pushed back over time, if you get a small pick you can slide it under the contacts and pull them closer to the center of the jack.
Slick editing!!!
Thanks Bill! Not on your level though..
Do you use yours outside the house?
haha if we bought a tape we didnt like we used to cellotape over the square to record on
Fresh vid just as im about to sleep... 👌
Very poetic video
Thanks!
Where did you find that I can’t find it anywhere
Very interesting I would say
Hi, I have a question about my Gameboy.
I’ve been watching all your Gameboy videos and I finally got a new casing for my Gameboy Color. When I put everything into the GameBoy Color, everything was in the correct spot, nothing sticking out, all good. But when I close it up, there is a gap between the front and back part of the case.
Could you or someone who knows how to fix this help me?
A picture maybe? You may have forgotten to put the IR lens?
Could be the IR lens yeah!
The Retro Future
Okay, so when I put the new casing on, I used the stock buttons and lens.
Yesterday I took it apart and put the new buttons and lens that the case came with, and I saw the gap along the sides and bottom were now fixed but for some reason the top, where the IR lens is, still had a gap.
More Walkwomen needed!
Dammit! where did you get that tps l2 they are so expensive... oh yeah i also got a sega game gear so thats cool
Please make a short video on the tape recorder!
Oh the 13 reasons why one? Maybe one day!
Awesome video keep up the good work
Thanks Simon!
is this mic input in stereo?
Another great video
great video keep it up !
Thanks!
what's the function of tape counter?
When you had multiple recordings on a single tape, it would be written on the cassette (or the cassette case insert) so you could FF to the recording you wanted to hear. Really useful in business, university, and law firm situations.
Seems like it's more a dictation machine than for listening to music, especially with it being mono and having the ability to listen to the audio sped up.
Remember my first "walkman", a garbage Sanyo model, had to hold the headphone jack in
Yeah the sony pressman :-)
My dad had one
1 year later
I thought this was Techmoan, was so confused lol
"Techmoan"
That is a compliment!
Man, I love the design of it! Even though it's almost useless today. I'll probably get me one these days. Even watching the cassette tape spinning is fun D:
I wish there would be more separate hardware that has a decent quality build. Smartphones are indeed very smart, they can do so many things - but they're so boring to look at.
Fak Yuh Googel if they are boring maybe try turning it on and opening the TH-cam app!
Why would I watch TH-cam on my phone when I can do it on my monitor though.
Cant bring your monitor in the loo with you!
I also don't spend half my daytime in the loo :D

40 years old!!!
