If you bought one of these you could say you had a real 'thirst' for music.

I got this as a gift from a now deceased realitive and I recently did some repairs to it as it was in 2 pieces with snapped and loose wires, how this happened I cant remember.

Ive botch repaired it for now and It might do well being serviced by somone who knows what they are doing. You have to open it carefully as the hinge one end is broken, its very simple and is quite cheaply made compared to what its new cost was, it only has play and fastforward, one direction only. Volume as you can see is adjusted by the ring pull and the headphone socket is right next to it.

Playback quality isnt going to scare a Sony walkman at all, its not exactlly working wonderfuly at the moment but when it does its ok but not great.

Originally it would have had a set of red plastic head phones, not unlike the ones you used to get on planes, they are long gone so my Skull Candy Lowriders are standing in.

The can design is an european one, I do remember buying a real can with that design, on ebay at the moment is 2 with the fairly standerd design on them so Im guessing this one might be rarer but I wouldnt say high valued as again its fairly cheaply made and mine is damaged and in complete.

It was manufactured by akura, where it doesnt say.

I remember a big one of these when i was young, I think the front opened up to display a stereo system, there was also possibly a cd player in the top part?

 

I always really wanted one but they were crazy expensive!  Also my friend got one for christmas and it sounded rubbish!

I remember and wanted one of those, I cant remember what I got given insted.

Sadly with the coca-cola music products back then the quality wasnt reflected in the price, I cant say how they do now as Ive not bought any of their newer stuff.
