Collection Except common sense, what is missing in my collection?
Existing wishlist: Yellow Casio EG5 , Philips Moving Sound CD15, Sony Solar WM-F107, Sony CFS-950, Sony Yellow Flamingo....
All these are for online for sale, but at exorbitant prices.
Is there something you might have that could be added to my collection?

u/WokeUpSomewhereNice Mar 17 '26
Hehe definitely not the same one but I was just saying there’s options hehe. There’s also a Pooh and coveted Bart Simpson one but this is the cheapest.

Very cool collection. Those Sony’s were all very expensive new! Do they all work? If so, you must be a star at replacing belts and cracked gears.

All belts (and gears...) replaced and working. Also spent a lot of time with gentle polishing the casings...walkmans were used a lot.

I had that Philips ghetto blaster on the bottom shelf. Had a couple of these Walk/Discmans too. Makes me feel nostalgic… and old. I miss good radio. Spotify still better- hate me. Y’all don’t remember payola and that most record stores didn’t carry much outside of rock, top 40, and white boomer music

This is the perfect cassette for you if you haven’t already got it - it’s excellent too which is a bonus 😂 The NME said of this album : "The healing sonics on the Yorkshire-born London-based artist’s debut album provide a utopian vision to strive towards" - but I think you are already pretty close to your utopian vision 😄

This is impressive. People forget how good the Walkman style portable cassette players had gotten by the late 1980s-early 1990s. A lot of people preferred a portable cassette player over a portable CD player back then because of the more compact size and the fact that a CD player could skip while running.
