You should record some royalty free stuff on a tape for demo purposes. Like the song for your end credits. That way we can hear the quality with out you getting in trouble.
Could use some of mystonerminds tracks from his soundcloud page.
Totally agree. Until the thing plays tapes like it did when it was new, the project is not complete. I’d like to see the project completed on-video.
That fade to black at 6:08 just makes it look like he went on an on about he headphone XD
Looks like I managed to cut a clip out! Damn it!
You should show us ur collection
I need more of these videos honestly. It's because of you I got back into cassettes and I would love to see more let's refurbs of different walkman
The Toshiba line of portables from the mid to late 80s was quite interesting. I have an old portable FM radio from '86 and it is brilliant. Love it. Keep making quality videos.
*stops watching other TRF video to click on the notif*
Thank you!
Had this at art college in the 1980s.Loved it - great to see it again. It was amazing at the time.
Amazing piece you find there!!! I really like your work! Keep it up! Cheers from Mexico!😁
I think that this thing is definetely worth every penny. Looks like it is really brand new and never been used before. How about showing your collection in one of the next videos? Seems like it would be interesting
One thing companies have been getting right for decades, is the unboxing experience.
Yup!
I'd actually argue that the best thing to buy if you're looking for a walkman (to listen to as opposed to tinker with) is one where someone's changed the belts already. You'll save yourself a lot of grief and hassle that way
It's interesting seeing someone get excited over tech I grew up with and couldn't wait to "upgrade" from. I ditched portable cassette players as soon as my parents could afford to gift me with a discman.
If the weather looks bad and that it will not let it be a problem
When you get things that are old, yet they feel unusually fresh. Like when I found an Olympus film camera in its original case with full film at a charity shop.
Wow!
@@TheRetroFuture Yeah, it was amongst some christmas tat. It needs a new battery, but luckily it takes generic camera batteries and panasonic sells 'em for a fiver.
Hey Elliot, I discovered a boxed Gameboy the other day in a little hole in the wall shop in London. If I were to buy it as a collector's piece, what things should I be looking out for (model numbers, particular areas of wear etc) and what would you consider a fair price to be?
For a boxed DMG GameBoy I would say the less scratches on the screen, the less used the GameBoy is (as a general rule). Make sure the screen works! Anywhere either side of £35 is a great deal if in good condition.
@@TheRetroFuture i bought a translucent blue DMG the other day (is that a rare colour...?) and peeled off the factory screen protector for the first time ;-) doesn't even have the vertical lines problem which is surprising, and came with brand new fully charged batteries in it haha! i plan to get that one modified with a green backlight, and keep my other boxed grey DMG "stock" (except the repaired screen as that one did have the vertical lines problem lol)
growing up with metal headphones they used to destroy my hair
Oh yes, I remember that too. It would be painful to take them off. :D
Hi eliot i love your videos i am very interested in that old stuff.. I already restored many kind of game boys and walkmans by myself. Keep up your great work. Greetings from germany :)
i miss these things so much
You CAN oil the mechanism, as long as no oil gets on any of the belt pulleys. I did oil them once back in the late 90's, and I could never get it off completely. And guess what, it sounded terrible. The speed wobbled all the time and I had to throw that walkman away.
Dude thank you for teaching me how to restore vintage electronics my collection look fantastic
Awesome
Making new fans for Toshiba
🤝🤝🤝🤝
Hey just wondering where you get your Walkmen because I've been looking into purchasing some and they're almost always really expensive.
Thanks to Elliot and his videos, I continue to buy and repair walkmans to this day, and just picked up a sony wm-3 (Guardians of the Galaxy walkman.)
The guardians of the galaxy Walkman is the TPS-L2 they are technologically similar to the WM3 although with massive visual differences
@@harleyokeefe5193 I wouldn't go as far as to say massive. Black paint and a silver mic button that latches are really the ONLY differences. Mechanically and outer shell are identical with the exception of some WM-3s having a white window border.
@@blakeromo considering the blue is the most iconic trait of the TPS-2 (and the fact the model number is different) I’d think it’s a very big stretch to call the WM-3 the guardians of the galaxy Walkman
Silly question but, the black one is heavier because it use a metal case and the silver one use a plastic case?
Great video mate was really happy to see u picking up a brand new Salman I used to love mine back in the day I used to always have the awia ones or Panasonic
How much did you spend on this brand new Toshiba walkman? Where did you buy those walkman belts?
Loving your videos mate, great watching you enjoy the stuff I grew up with, the 80s were a great time, just got my odroid go, arived today great bit of kit
Thank you Ben!
Great buy, someone trying to sell one on Ebay now for £160! Is the radio in stereo? Thanks
Very nice that great find ,i got a sony wm31 with the original headphones and speakers looks unused and even the foam is fine on the original headphones .Sometimes its better to get a decent belt that is specific to the model they just cost quite a bit compared to the collection of belts but are often better quality .
So close to 100k!
Beautiful walkman
Saw this on Instagram can’t wait to watch this
So does the raido cassette work on other cassette walkmans? I mean, it is in the same shape and size of a cassette.
I used to do paper routes, just to afford a walkman.... Guess I'm getting old :(
Love your stuff, feels like I’m watching a younger TechMoan haha.
lol, funny to see someone getting excited about such retro stuff but good on you
Went to a rummage sale..saw a group of teens standing around a old Smith-Corona typewriter..all cell phones out taking pictures. Amazed at what they considered "ancient". Ha
Hey you should do a console repair sometime, nice video
At 0:31 what is that label maker thing? I wanna get that for some of my retro stuff but I don’t know what it is. Can somebody tell me what it is?
I really like my old tech and 👍this video
thankfully the earphone coverings can be replaced from ebay or amazon very cheaply :D
i got a brand new PANASONIC RQ-V65 for $3nzd the other day from a salvation army store i really like old portable
tape players
Can you record music with it on a blank cesette? If yes then how?
Use a blank tape and record your own sounds for testing. Would be interesting to hear the quality of the sound connected directly to a computer
That is a good idea!
Just to be clear, no one in the US calls a vacuum cleaner a "hoover". Thats strictly a UK thing. other than that, love your content!
No it's also said in the us I hear all the time when I go into people's homes to clean their carpet. Also heard it called a sweeper which was a new one for me
no one in America calls it a hoover
@@Dori_alex i promise you people do in America. I live in ky and work at the busiest Stanley steemer in the state having to go all over to clean carpet airducts etc and guess what plenty of people say Hoover
Well here on the west coast at least, no one calls it a hoover. We also call carbonated drinks soda, not pop. But! I will agree that it didn't matter what brand of tape player I had, I called it a Walkman.
lots of white van men drive "Transit vans", even though they're Vauxhall Vivaros ;-)
i had one of these i got from goodwill but when i was refurbing it it completely snapped the circuit board. because of the corrosion :/
Hello dear, may I know the model number of this walkman?
Looks amazing
Love this!
idk if I should get a song walk man or this brand now
What oil did you use?
great video!
THOSE ARE JAPANESE BRAND NAME BACK IN THE 80'S 90'S..I USED THEM IN THE PAST..
WHERE TO BUY THAT SPEAKER?
anywhere that sells the Divoom Tivoo.
Damn thats one sexy looking cassete player, i want one!
Love that model
5:24 - well there goes the price value after denting the front, certainly not a way to treat a collectors item lol
Looks like the foamy things on the headset are missing.
New old Stock is called 'NOS' in just about all industries...
Love ur vids
so nice and im sad cause the bottom screen of my 2DSXL broke no cracks it just a black screen the touch screen work but it all black i wish i could send it to you but i dont know your state now i just wanna cry ;-;
you should do a video of your collection
What’s the poster next to you
That is a piece of art work for some t-shirts coming soon!
me while seeing the radio is a tape:
:|
me when the tape was inside the player:
:o
Happy 2019
you should really get a tape with royalty free music or any music you are allowed to play honestly... like any ofAnders Enger Jensen's releases
Only purchase direct drive cause the belts rot.
_this thing waited 600 years to be unboxed..._
Is the aiwa hs-px101 is good?. Im gonna bought it today😁
They’re like $400 AUD in box lmao what alternate universe did u ACTUALLY get this from
