The boombox guys upstairs are bragging about their boxed radios.  Just wondered if anyone has any boxed walkmans.  I have a small number somewhere in the vault which I might dig out for a photocall but it would be good to see some more.

Get digging boys

Be there in a bit, just lined the guys up for some mugshots. Can't remember when I last opened the Ferguson... EDIT, OK my boxed WM's are few and far between

Close up the the Ferguson 3T29...as shown above...It still has it's original foams, just as well as they appear to be bespoke. Plus the original receipt from 1985 - Rumbelows! 

Oooh, love the WM-24 box.  Also, I recall that Ferguson rebadged as a Boots unit.

Blimey, good knowledge there Cris! The fergy is actually a well made device but this one will need a new belt at some point. The Sony is nice although I now think that the Gold colour is not all that rare. I did have a WM 22 but stupidly sold it to a museum. But you can still see it here!

WM-24

I wish I'd kept it as it was whisper quiet in operation and was virtually unused. I was approached whilst I was stall holding at the NVCF about 5 years ago...

im a noob with walkmans i only have a couple one of them being this boxed one

a panasonic RQ-J8

Ah yes lately S2G been overrun with BBX enthusiasm.... time to Show our support and passion on the Walkman side.  Nak that Fergy is so clean and the box wow just love when a box looks brand new and so hard to find such anymore.

Yeah right Cris digging is right now they are all out I suppose I should fire them up to run some.. well there is weeks of fun.  Enjoy here is my boxed little treasure's 

Just over 15% of my #404 Walkman are boxed.

This collection taken 2 YEARS AGO....Newer additions will be added shortly taking photos now.  Few of us together can open a WALKMAN STORE... the new Renaissance.

@ JohnEdward

this post proves my empirically-based hypothesis (i do not dare call it a theory).

in a nutshell: being all collectors potentially affected by Compulsive Hoarding, there's a basic difference between walkman and boombox addicts. of course it's a matter of degree, but evidence so far shows that walkman collectors are at one time:

1. smarter than boombox fans, as they can easily amass more items into less space;

2. more terminally ill than the above, because of the exponential growth of their bulimia 

Here My boxed walkman professional line. Have more as their was different revisions to each, but don't have pictures, would have to take pictures, as have different revisions of each. 

This one below is first revision of D6C

Below is forth revision of D6C 

A boxed D3 is always nice. A very underated member of the DD family, let down by a poor door latch. 

Someone has to have some boxed Aiwas, I know you've been buying them

I have quite a few boxed ones, but have to find time to dig them out, as I keep them in a shipping box.

@John Edward. Wow! 

It's been a while since we have talked. You have build up a very impressive collection. They are all awesome units. Panasonic RQ-JA160 is one of my favorites. I have a couple, not boxed. 

Two of your units that peak my curiosity are LG AHA-FD770 and Crown CD-10. 

I have never seen a Walkman that can play music from an SD card in addition to the cassette. I suppose you could record from the SD card to the cassette. It would be great to know more about this Walkman like what year was it made.  Knowing your research skills I am sure you have the historical data behind this one . Any chance you can post pictures of the actual unit?

The Crown Cd-10 is a very interesting concept. I have see a similar Sony one but not in the Walkman rectangular shape.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get these two units? I am guessing not ebay.

wow,

the boxed ones are the best ones.

Cris, please give me your f2 boxed..

Didn't I get it from you in the first place?

Yes been awhile, Good to hear from you.  Thank you kindly for compliment on my collection.

I actually use the JA160 a lot as the bass boost also boost highs and its got a powerful amp so plays rock music loud and proud!  It is one of my daily favorites.

Here is link to topic I did on the MP3 Walkman only one known to exist.  

LG  MP3/Radio/ Cassette WALKMAN

As to the CD -10 by Crown its identical mechanically and cosmetically close to the Sony D-88 both are the smallest CD portable players ever made.  Sony Licenced Crown to use their design which is very rare for Sony.  I bought both my boxed and player only unit from eBay actually.  No one knows about model so did not have to pay much vs. how expensive the D-88 goes for.

I did a topic on the Crown but the search engine on this forum totally is worst ever seen most of time comes up with no results found... maddening. Cant find my topic but here topic on D-88 and photo of bothD88 and CD-10 next to each other.

CRIS,,, What a impressive early boxed Sony collection... YOU are undoubtedly the SONY STORE HERE !!  The Sony Solar battery charger is so rare , always wanted to find one but never found on yet.  You have most all of the best early Sony models boxed, lucky man!!  

See we both have a boxed Fischer PH-10.  I actually am quite impressed with this player and use it now and then.  For its day a good sounding unit.  I got lucky with a red one.  Dont know what other colors it came out in.

Hi !

I've got a KENWOOD CP-D3 B in it's original box for sale

not sure the Nicd battery is still working but it comes with special attachment for AA batteries that works.

includes battery nicd, AC Adapter (European 220V), bag, headphones, instruction booklet, warranty & invoice dated 22/12/1990

Any interest ?

Regards

(from France)

 AH HAH... CRIS see what you started... now the BBX guys are smarting from seeing the shear number of BOXED UNITS we now termed " HOARDING " Walkman collectors have.  

Ah yes #1 TRUE.. we are SMARTER  as One closet can hold hundreds + Walkman while Boomer collectors need entire large room wall AND entire LARGE GARAGE to showcase their gems.  WALKMAN = Space efficient  

   j/k now that am collecting BBX's (have 15 ) they already take more 

                           space than 250 Walkman in 3 showcases do !.. ouch I need a garage.

#2  2. more terminally ill than the above, because of the exponential growth of their bulimia     WELL NOW the BBX crowd is showing jealousy because we can hoard more !!!   LONG LIVE THE COLLECTIVE HOARDERS OF THE WORLD !!!  Keeping History

Headphone Rocking and Music Booming going into the future.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WALKMAN MEMBERS we are showing those BOOMBOX boys  real enthusiasm in this post.  LETS keep ADDING I KNOW MANY members have fantastic BOXED COLLECTIONS.   Awesome topic AO !

BEAUTIFUL RARE BOXED units Maurice.   NOW dig out that shipping box full of more boxed treasures I know you have hidden away.  Inquiring minds wanna see.

Bonjour, Welcome to our family of Walkman and Boombox collectors ( Hoarders LOL).

You should post your Item for sale in the FOR SALE section under Walkman.  Definitely take some good clear photos of box and player different angles to best allow members to decide if want to buy.  Photos are so important.   

Thanks JohnEdward,

I do so, i like pictures as i'm a camera collector, not a walkman collector ;-) (so i can trade it for boxed camera !)

Do you now if the AAA batteries attachment was sold optional ?

Have fun by collecting it's great hobby !

Regards

@JohnEdward

glad to see that you got my previous post right: it shows profound admiration (and yes, a little envy...) for the walkman folks  this is just to add that i love walkmans too, although i only have a couple worth keeping - & just one boxed that is certainly not worth mentioning here 

Many of the late 80's /90's Walkman came with the add on AA battery holder.

Check your PM ( private messages " DIALOG" at top right of screen.)

nope,

it was my nr2 from my top 10, which you did ask many years ago.

Well, I'll show my boxed units. Here you'll see almost my entire collection of boxed ones; only a few left to add. I'll start with the least interesting and continue with the better ones.

Here's the box of my son's walkman :-)

The SONY WM-B39, a walkman that I had when I was a teen:

 The world first Walkman with bass enhancement:

The rare WM-509, a veru cute walkman: 

The rare Hitachi CP-35 in red, a very beautiful walkman (this one is for sale):

The Toshiba RT-V600, a 'sports' walkman from this brand, in red.

The KT-V880: 

 Kenwood CP-J7, a rare Dolby C Walkman:

 Did you ever see how SONY sold his boxed walkmans in Japan? Here you can see:

 A rare 'Optonica' Sharp walkman, with Dolby C too:

 The famous 701C with radio (WM-F701C):

 The legendary TPS-L2, the first walkman:

 The DD30, one of the best sounding walkmans, taking in count base quality and embedded EQ:

 The superb DC2:

 The slick WM-EX5, one of the most elegan walkmans ever made:

 The rare KT-AS1 in red:

The KT-V500, one of the smallest walkmans, smaller than a cassette:

 This is probably the world's smallest boombox: a walkman convertible:

 The beautiful and rare WM-20 in pink color:

 The superb and legendary AIWA G08:

 A museum piece: the HS-J02, the world's first stereo recording walkman:

 The golden AIWA HS-JX2000, but sadly my box has not an internal part :-(

 The ultra-rare and ultra-sleek SANYO ES-P7:

 The SharpJC-AV10, one of the very rare walkmans with integrated TV, black version:

 And this is the japanese red version, that also features Dolby:

 And... the last ones are the best ones.

Here it comes the SONY WM-701S, the silver-plated, limited edition version of the 701C:

 The gorgeus SONY BOODO KHAN:

 and finally, the extraordinay wooden box of the SONY WM-EX1HG:

This thread is without a doubt one of new fav's!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extrordinary collections gentlemen! I'm speechless.......

I have but one still in it's box ..my Sony WM-101 in blue

P.S.

Does anyone have a Sanyo M-34GT (I think that's the model #) with the removable tuner pack??

Brutus, that's got to be one of the nicest Sony's I've seen in ages. Beautiful looking WM looking mint, in every sense 

Thanks Nak D

I there's more pics of this unit here

index.php?board_oid=193392314111653483&content_oid=206762944463621472

Sorry for the hijack

That is TRULY one of the most beautiful shades of Blue/Green ever !  

I have had the Sanyo MG-34DT (correct #) from 1983 NIB and bought some time ago a NIB bought from Dealer Sanyo MG-110DT which cost 20% more than the 34DT.   The DT suffix denotes the Tuner Pack models.  Also the Fisher PH-45 is same as the 110DT model as Sanyo sister company was Fisher like Panasonic and National.   The 110DT is also from 1983 a great looker for sure metal face and nice moderately heavy weight.

The 110DT has folding headphones vs. 34DT standard non folding.

SANYO MG-110DT with Tuner Pack

SANYO MG-34DT with Tuner Pack

You can clearly see there are differences between the two models the 110DT being the better of the two.

Oh wow, that is a cracker.  The humble WM-100 format has never looked so nice.  Amidst a sea of boxed DD9s & D6C's this just stands out.  What's the story behind this?

I love the way John Edward can just dig out a selection of boxed variants each time someone mentions a rare unit.  Hat's off to you sir.

Don't you just love the understated Sony DD boxes, who needs a picture of the actual walkman on the box? 

Thank you kindly AO for the compliment.  Although I don't have a focus in my boxed units such as you Cris with that amazing collection of early Sony's the hardest to find and have IMO, I have a wide selection of few models from each mfg. company.  

I also agree among a sea of fancy graphics, color and images the high class simple packaging of the DD boxes sets them apart from the rest as it should be.  Sadly I dont have a single boxed example of any DD unit other than the DD9 which veered significantly away from simply classy packaging. 

HUGO you truly have the most RARE selection of the most collectable desirable Walkman anyone could want to own.  And so many of your boxes are in such amazingly great condition.  I know the time you have spent to find such treasures and it shows.   I have to  

bow to your breathtaking boxed collection.  The Toshiba mini boomer with detachable Walkman is very rare and to find in a near perfect box too.  Your DC2 box well speechless , true class all the way.   

What I have in quantity you have in quality. 

This post is actually a walkman fair of granduer that I cannot miss.

Here is part of my collection, 80%, give or take. the original attachment is a high-defination, over 10 million pixels picture. I do not know whether friends here can

download it. if you can, you can see the name of every walkman here clearly.

it takes too much time to put all my walkman in order. I will make time totake more pictures to share with friends here.  

are you a majority shareholder @ Sony, Demiwang?
