lol this is funny

 

wait, is this kind of spamming allowed ? or just a cheap advertising for the walkman-archive ?

i like it anyway.

To the digital audio player's credit, they are often easier to repair and diagnose should they break. (Except for most newer flash based players, which are very difficult to open)

 

I like the way walkman-archive showcases walkmans- the photos and information is outstanding.

@sonic boom: Man, before you accuse anyone of doing spam, you should digg a bit and learn what "spam" means. You use Wikipedia, please.

 

Note: the funny image I posted is taken from a site that has no relationship with me or my website. They're selling nothing. As is not my image and I simply saw it there, I pointed to them as everyone should do when using other's images, following copyright laws (at least in my country).

 

Note 2: the bottom line is my signature. In my website I sell nothing. There's no advertising.

 

@Bub: Thank you very much. I really enjoy building my website and I enjoy even more knowing that collector like you do like it. I work slowly with it, as I have few free time, but I'd like to end with a high quality website, with plenty of good info and photos, open to other's collaboration. It's very time-consuming, however, it's worth. I think that the next walkman will be the 701C, another milestone in the walkman era.

Hello Hugo,
I really enjoy your website as much as Bub and the rest did. Your interest and passion in addition with your exceptional photography skill, you have defined the essence of what walkman were really are! I have learnt so much about walkman in yr website and I will continue to do so, thanks again.

Just spotted this post has gone back up the charts so to speak and decided to take a look at the walkman archive. This is a beautifully made site. It's fantastic, so many nice touches. You can see the work that's gone into it. Something to be proud of Hugo.

Thanks to all.

 

I'm so impressed to read what you've wrote. Wow! You make me very proud, really. Thanks from the heart. I hope I can continue this line with as much passion as I'm doing it now, if not more in the future. I can say that two things cause real passion on me: walkmans and photography. So joining together pushes me to real enjoyment.

 

I'll keep it up!

Hi Rerooted, replacing the belt  for wm7 may not be difficult if you know the systematic way.  Let me send you some pics to illustrate the procedure in order to help you. But I can only do this coming weekend as I am working abroad now. Mean while you can refer to Bub as he has a thread on wm7 shrunken gear
