Personally i think this was good enough to go on the main channel!

I had this for my tenth birthday

I really need to get myself a Walkman to fix up. Seem like cool projects!

I had one of these non-walkman branded Sony players for a long time I loved it It sounded amazing They were a very intricate thing for time time I recall having the back of it on several occasions . I also remember the batteries used to last a long time Thanks for the memories

It’s 2:30 in the morning and this pops up. Yes please.

What a great looking device. I was a bit too young to enjoy the tail end of the walkman life cycle, but its great to kind of "meet" it for the first time- so to speak!

Someone’s been in here. Dankpods reference.

A few days in a row that im early, and they are pure gems. Always enjoy a good walkman video, amazing product from a golden era that gets the love it has truly earned and deserves.

Well done Elliot of ' The Retro Future ' your enthusiasm and patience are amazing.

Glad to see more Walkman videos from you your video on the WM-3 actually helped me repair mine

elliots reactions are always the best. thanks fir another great video and greetings from texas!!

Pro tip: stay up till 2:30 in the morning to see the vids as soon as they're uploaded

Please do more of this vids. I love how you repair Walkmans and other portable cassette players.

Happy day. Another work of art lives on.

I treasure my Sony Walkman to this very day! ❤️

Ah yes the nice refreshment of seeing a new video

I found your channel today as I am interested in buying a vintage Walkman, and this repair is amazing to watch.

That was a great repair! Well done. Turned out to be a fault created by whoever screwed with it before! Nicely found! ;-) I'd love one of these early Sony Walkmen.... I remember when they first came out, but they were SO expensive back then; I had a lovely metal clad Aiwa which was the first into the UK back in '79/'80, and it was awesome too...but I still adored that Sony blue/silver look!! And now they're even more expensive to try and get! Damn.... well done with this one though.... it's great to see a genuine audio classic piece brought back to life again... ;-)

17:05 the exact feeling I get when I've written a gameboy off and absolutely CANNOT figure out the issue after months of tinkering. Then after 1 small unnoticeable fix.. you feel like a freakin genius and God. REAL!

wow! a new walkman video at 5:15 on the arvo! thanks for the awesome video!

What amazes me is how modern a walkman looks, it doesnt even look like itd a 1970s device.

Great repair! I'm really enjoying your second channel. I hope you feel better...

I had a chance to get a very clean one with the case for about six dollars. I didn’t get it. Three months later guardians of the galaxy came out and the prices went insane. I’m still kicking myself.

Really cool video. I grew up on walkmans and discmans.

Hi elliot! Love your videos, it's such a great channel

Good job elliot,perseverance pays in the end.

You should totally refurbish and mod one of the old iPod Classics sometime! There is a whole world of really neat stuff you can do with those things including custom faceplates, custom firmware, SD cards as storage, and huge batteries. It truly is quite amazing!

You're happy dance made me happy. Well done

Hi Elliot I used to have a green gameboy colour and upgraded to ags 101 I really regret it but watching you fix and resto

It was very satisfying when you got it to work

Ty for the video Elliot

Walkmans were so cool when I was a kid

Fixing it is a good new for starting a weekend!!!

Feel better Elliot 🥺

Great video😄

Last time I was this early he had a hat

a classic for sure!

Just when I was thinking “did he fix the mic?!?”

That case is vinyl. You can buy products that restore it's flexibility. And stuff that will fix that tear as well.

Great restoration process(trough i wosh you also showed the cleaning process and explained why the microphone didn’t work) but other then that well dond and while there was First there the walkman, then we got the gameboy, then we got the iphone , then we got the ipad,Then we got the smartwatch, Only time will tell what will be the next gedjet on the future😊

Get well soon Elliot! Do take care during this pandemic. Big fan, I enjoy watching your videos so much it's really therapeutic to see you take apart old things and clean/repair them. Also I wanted to ask, since you know so much about soldering and that kind of stuff, did you study Engineering in school?

great video

Buen trabajo!! 🙌

Sendico here! Sendico there! Sendico everywhere!

Darth Elliott reflowing the solder

Finally picked up a TPSL2 to complement my WM-3.

Nice Vid!

Damn I love this

Good job 🌹👍

There was no reason to dislike the video...

Restore gameboys love the vids keep them up

thanks for demo ... btw at 12:00 it was so funny to watch XD

i remember having one of those, I have a glow in the dark one, I wonder where it is now

Have you thought about using deoxidizing spray? It’s specifically used to clean pots and contacts on electronics. When I pick up used electronics I usually always hit the pots with it. WD-40 makes their deoxidizing spray (not to be confused with their regular WD-40). I use it and it works super well and it’s not expensive at all.

nice thing to have if you want to listen to music without being spied.

Again - nice job - good price also...

nice mooves in the end

The latest Digital Audio player from Oriolus, the DPS-L2 has exactly same design haha.

Wow I’m early

Why the need to reflow all of the solder joints, they seemed to be ok in the 1st place. Anyway you should have also included the cleaning and how you solved the incorrect screws problem. And there is this stuff called Deoxit which alot of ppl use to clean scratchy pots.

Guardians of the galaxy approved!

found one of these at a goodwill for $5, fixed it and someone bought it for $250! crazy luck

Altoke mí rey 😎👍

190 pounds! Guess i do kind of miss my yellow sports walkman from the early 90's >.

Cool. Now slap that "Awesome Mix Vol. 1" inside that thing.

I keep seeing stuff I want on Sendico but its such a complicated system I still hold back as its seems you aim to win an auction, then win it, then wait for the item to be delivered to Sendico's packagaing department, then pay for the shipping and it just seems so awkward when I know on ebay if I find something in Japan, it automatically sends direct to me without fuss or kafuffle :S If I was a dealer I could see the bonuses for it as you can move stuff wholesale but in my watch collecting I spot maybe one good piece and Sendico isn't cost effective in that regard but the JDM has many exclusive watches we don't get to see here in the UK so I have geared myself up for a "test" run with an item I have been watching and see how that turns out or how expensive it turns out which is a big worry with them 500 yen at each end plus shipping on top of item win price O.o

You can also clean inside the headphone jacks by taking the cotton off of one end of a cotton bud and soaking the stick in rubbing alcohol, then gently inserting it into the head phone jack and sliding it in and out to clean where the contacts touch the headphone plug.

I love your musical tastes, Elliot. Gotta have a bit of Rusted Root, eh? :)

Hey Elliot, quick question, why does it have separate left and right volume controls? Great vids, love your channels!

I know this isn't the main channel but I got my first DMG today!!

Hahaha, I think we were both bidding on this.

Noice.

Rusted root... nice

Hello Elliot ! I love your over ear headphones ! What model are they ?

You should invest in some flex arms with Alligator clips. They will give you an "extra set of hands".

I want a walk man now

I want this. I want this so bad.

100th comment. Nice fix. Looks like fun.

I think that fate made him break the salmon wire so he could fix it lol

If you could do a video on the silver sony bm-12 pressman it would be greatly appreciated. It is a really hard model to research. Thanks!

All of my friends think I’m weird because I like walkmans *Well, you know what? I’ll think of a good insult later!*

YO IM EARLY LETS GOOO

Nice one Elliot! Do you (or anyone) know where I can get my late 80s AM/FM Walkman WM-BF44 repaired (belt replacement etc)..? It's been in my family since new and after passing from my Grandad to my Mum it's now with me, and the repair services I tried just told me it's a difficult model to repair.

I was half hoping your battery bay was narly so I could see how it's done... Mines basically 90% brown lol

... ahhhh! So its Hat Elliot on TRF vs No hat Elliot on this channel? Either way im on board 🤣

I was literally thinking I wonder if he has ever knocked over that alcohol bottle and bam he knocks it over lol

I feel like I saw this exact walkman on Jauce a bit ago🤔🤔🤔

Nabbed myself one too. Im pretty sure my motor is dead. I can spin it free hand but it wont go under power. So I will have solder in a replacement.

Just wondering where did you buy your replacement cords and also what soldering iron are you using?

You should get into iPods

Hi Elliot. I have a question. What is that liquid you put on soldering? THX! Good job with the channel!

Do you have any specific paints for the grey section, I’ve recently brought a TPS-L2 and it’s in great condition apart from the grey which is pretty scratched up. Any help is appreciated, love your channels btw

Just so you know, there is this amazing people you can send a broken/not working cassette player to retrospekt. Just search up “Retrospekt”

SMH I was screaming from second one “CHANGE OUT THE 30-60 year old wiring!!!!!”

I like that welder! Where can I get it !?

Ive always wanted an original walkman, but i dont feel like spending $50+ on a tape player with same sounding audio as one for $10 I found an old silver walkman type sony from the 80's for $10, i should have gotten it but i didnt because it was in unknown condition mechanically. It had a recording mic, and the seller's sister used it for recording her songs when she want in her studio.

Hi there

When are you going to do the Powkiddy v90 update??

Did you know there are such things as Bluetooth cassette adapters that are rechargable? I think it would be interesting to use one of those in a Walkman and listen to music that was never released on cassette.

Hi i really love your work and I have this game boy advance sp ags001 and it's missing som components .I was wandering if you can help me find out what are these. The components are C33 C34 Q4 F1 Thanks a lot.
