i remember selling these back in 1987/88 http://www.walkmancentral.com/products/wm-d6c
...they were standard equipment for BBC reporters all over the world. Also when the "tape to tape" craze was in these were bought by hifi buffs as these had "line in and line out"
They retailed for £250
Another one i can remember was the solar powered walkman http://www.walkmancentral.com/products/wm-f107
this was part of the "sports splash proof" range..difference this was in a white case instead of yellow.
I first saw this when a customer bought one in to the Plymouth Sony Centre.. this black guy walked said can i have this repaired please...baring in mind it hadnt been released in U.K...i said this is not released in U.K. yet..the guy went on to explain that he had been working in the states..it came to light he was a musician of a band who were touring with Simple Minds...it was Tony Butler bass player Big Country..real nice guy..i met him again in 2004 when he donated some B.C stuff for a cancer auction i had help arrange..he lives 20 miles away in Launceston Cornwall
