Got a WM-1xx, WM-F1xx, WM-R2xx Walkman without battery box?

This guy adapted a newer type battery box:

Not original any more (and requires 2 screw holes + some soldering), but does not look bad when finished and makes that old WM-F101 without battery box you had in your drawer working again...

Good if you are just looking to use the walkman. But most won't want to modifed the original look or put holes in the bottom as these are collectable now.

Totally Agree!
But those pesky battery boxes are rather hard to come by and a lot of those machines are being sold without either of the two battery boxes and thus useless...
