Yes.... Again big Money for the old TPS-L2..... Just make a Nice display, Some bla bla bla and pimped YouTube movie.... Voila , ready to fetch big money...... http://m.benl.ebay.be/itm/122502011...e11010.m1951.l1653%26rvr_id%3D0&ul_noapp=true
Take a look at his video..... Hahaha.... With plastic globes ... Huge 6.5 to 3.5 Jack adaptor.. ( cool???). And the condition.... What do you think guys? Not bad... But far far away from NM.... I would say between 0 and 10.... ITS a fair 6..... To conclude.... For me iT is between 200 and 350$ worth
Given current TSP-L2 prices (assuming someone is actually paying those money ...) I'm surprised there are no chinese rip-off floating off ebay and sold as original Sony piece from 1979. Let's hope this craze will fade soon.
The battery door is a little loose but it's in great condition apart from that, needs a good clean, but I might get it done professionally because I don't want to risk breaking it. The serial is about 50,000 and something.
The battery door is just fixed by a sandwich technique... A kind of wire that is screwed between the chassis and metal case.... Or is the hinge streched? Replacing the belts is very easy to DIY... On YouTube you can find a step by step... Belts from Marian are super!
Fixed battery door but...I've just noticed the motor turns the wrong way and a couple of wires have come off the mic... Definitely not going to attempt to fix this myself.
Hi Chris Motor wrong way is easy solved i think.... Belt on motor is maybe not correct placed... Mic wires : upper left is red, upper right is red and below red is black
You were right about the belts being the wrong way round, I've put them the right way round and it now works so thank you very much for that
Sold one recently in "good" condition with a new belt and sounding excellent for $325 AUD. Honestly that is a fair price. The Guardians of the Galaxy movie series just made them more desirable and the prices are way to high now.
I hate the Guardians of the Galaxy movie series, I will do anything I can to boycott them. I'm looking for a WM-3, the repackaging of the TSP-l2 following the release of the WM-2. It is frequently sold as a "black version" of the TSP-L2 and obviously prices are high. Couldn't they have used a CD player, a minidisc or an mp3 player in GoG ?? Anything but a walkman ...
Hahahah. I like those movies just for the movie itself. Not because the main character has a Walkman. I assume you're talking about the WM-3? Even they are fetching high prices. I'm just happy to have gotten my TPS-L2 and brand new boxed WM-3 in mint condition for quite a reasonable price last year.
There is one boxed pristine Wm-3 on sale from Australia for ~ 500 EUR http://www.ebay.it/itm/SONY-WM-3-wa...440053?hash=item4b18316ef5:g:sbAAAOSwxu5ZJQkY Is that you ? right now I do not have that money so I have to give up.
