Yup, and it's has a really loud and warm sound X3. Especially after some tuning X3. Love it.

Congrats Tobi.

 

That is a fine belt clip indeed.

I quite like the old Philips units. I sold one I no longer needed to Walkgirl a few years back. Forget 2 or 4, this thing took 3 AA batteries! Go figure...

What's the story behind (excuse the pun) this unit?

 

Was it a member purchase? A find in the wild?

 

Regardless it's showroom stuff

Nice walkman.

You have a big bottom!

Like many good things: I won it on eBay. It was from the first owner who bought it back in 1984. It's almost in showroom condition indeed.

I have some philips walkmans also!!, and a nice walkman radio nib!!!

 

with nice red foams on the headphones

The oldest catelogue I found it in was from 1983.

...Could you measure how long it is? It's kind of a mystery XP

walkgirl - 2013-03-17 08:39

I made a topic about that once!, the worlds biggest walkman!, and the philips is about the biggest ever!, maybe the sanyo 6060 is a bit bigger but has no tuner

 

will need to find a ruler first!!, then I will let you know
