Much respect to Sony cramming all that inside a tiny device. I never had any idea how complex a Walkman was inside

Is the music muted at 0:41? From the Walkman? UPDATE - KZfaq have told me they have fixed and will be fully sorted within 48 hours.... Kinda annoying this happened to be on a video about AUDIO but hey-ho.... enjoy! (I hope!)

To wash off paint especially silver like in your walkman I do not recommend to use abrasives, but instead alkali may be useful. Greetings from Russia & best wishes!

0:40 : trying to listen by putting the speaker in my ear 0:45 : turn all up the volume 0:52 : (Eliot screaming in my ear "as well ...") OMG! You almost leave me deaf

0:40 Take a listen: I'm hearing nothing 😂

I saw the image and thought; “weird, Techmoan doesn’t usually drop videos today”! 😂

Thanks! This helped me fix my TPS-L2 speed so that I can listen to it play all my favorite tunes again!

I almost thought the Walkman was really cool. It's affordable (depending on the model), it can play your tapes on the go... I wish I had this.

Super envious! It's a testament to good design continuity in that it's 40 years old and all you need to power it is 2 Double AA batteries.

Lovely, lovely job there... :-) These early Sony Walkmen are just works of art, and you restored that one brilliantly!

I love your hobby, job or whatever you do! I mean, what you do is beautiful, when you discover the hidden spaces of these pieces that impacted the joys of so many people in the 80s and 90s. I myself gladly keep a copy of these, my mother gave it to me in my adolescence and with this material, I will be able to do the maintenance it requires to keep it active. It seems to me a beautiful piece, with sophisticated lines, reliable and unique. Thank you for this space, for all that dedication

Your videos always inspire me to to pick up job lots of broken tech

You are very brave opening such complex unit, thanks for the great content Elliot :-)

Great to see a video about the Walkman again 👍

Great video! If you can't find a suitable replacement mic, you may be able to solder a resistor in series with the microphone to adjust it's amplitude! 👍🏻

Nice walkman! Wish I could afford one like this.

I always enjoy watching your videos! :) keep it up!

Hey , great video dude, greetings from México !!

another bang up, excellent job!!! I love your videos elliot theyre super interesting and I always learn something! keep it up bro!

You might not be the most knowledgeable or have the best technique yet but I appreciate your willingness to dive and and do what you can anyway to show others they can do all the same. Not to mention there's just something oddly comfy about your videos. Love this channel, keep up the awesome work!

Super cool man, keep up the great videos

I freaked out when I seen the value. Just picked one up at a garage sale for 5. Like all the tape players I find tho, they always have some issue

Buen trabajo, quedo estupendo!! 🙌

Great work!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

great stuff. love this kind of thing

Cool work!!!

Damn i wish i had someone like you in my family ^^ great video by the way!

Looks amazing, man!

Love the walkman content Eliot! If you ever wish to dive into some digital audiophile stuff, Sony's modern NW, ZX, and WM walkman series are great players!

Im honestly really jealous. I couldnt even imagine owning one 💀

Elliot do more Walkman repair/restoration video, I love your videos!

Awesome👍nice job🛠 very♡nostalgic

Tempo bom que não volta mais!!!!!!! Colocava esses aparelhos na cintura, montava na bike, era só alegria!!!!!! Por que muitas coisas boas são desprezadas???????!!!!!!!!!

amazing work!

Loved my first Walkman shows how old I am... 😁👍

If i ever get a walkman and it has a problem imma send it in to this guy

I'm officially in love with walkams

Just some advice. I restore old amplifiers. I like to only paint the sides that don't have screen printing. You can tape off the whole side with printing. Then paint all the other areas. If the paint matches it will be very good and you will preserve the printing. Also put a coat of polyurethane over the top. Be sure to use the finish that matches matte or semi gloss or gloss.

Yay! Another retro futures Walkman vid! Love it. Have you considered doing a later Walkman like a direct drive model? Love my DD and the sound is the crispiest that’s I have ever experienced from a cassette.

It's great to see an English collecter on KZfaq. Have my like 👍

Great job Elliot! 👍

Nice. Great job. 👍👍

If I don't see you walking through town with this thing on your belt, I'll be disappointed XD

this is my favorite walkman

Nice vid. Thanks!

Good job. The inside of of that with all the messy wires was unsatisfying. Great job overall

Luv this magical device

You did an awesome job. Huge thanks and greetings from Israel

I have the first Sony sports Walkman and it works perfectly.

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! 😻😻💕

Hang on a minute.....this isn't Techmoan. Awesome video nevertheless.

Thank you Kanye very cool

I love the intro to your videos

Congrats!

Great video duder! :D

I’ll be quite happy if i got my self one of those and I’ve got plenty of tapes with my beautiful silly on them.

That USB C soldering iron is hella cool.

You can help the wow and flutter by replacing the pinch rollers. They are crucial when it comes to that. According to strangers I found in the forums.

Nice job.....!

Jeez I remember when my dad had one of these.

I have a 20 years old Philips Walkman 🤟🏻

Please do more walkman content. They are so hot right now! lol. Love the hand held gaming also.

Very good video

Hope u could do more about these beautiful machines. I got a tape player as well but i think i broke something when i put a tape-cleaner in it... :(

You found matching batteries! Look at you! 🤣

Love it!

I swear this is ASMR for nerds.

Nice job

Beautiful.

I told you on the Walkman group to stencil it or laser etch what you painted Anyway looks good and i like that you changed the old tape with new kapton tape

Amazing!

Pretty cool seeing how complex these things are and it really shows how we have advanced from there. Personally I'm more of an iPod junkie (currently daily driving a 5th gen classic, thanks DankPods for brainwashing me and restoring my love for iPods again), but everything has its place and I wouldn't mind having one of these around.

So awesome!

You should use alcohol to clean the head. Then set the head height using a service tape and a small screwdriver

This is awesome!! This is what I saw you listening to during your roller skating “victory lap” the other day eh? ;)

Nice vid

Ohh that new intro is nifty.

Nice job, by the way.

hey, I was just wondering where you got the white-end tweezer? I think I heard you said it was a ceramic end from the previous videos

You did well :-)

Made in Japan! Good quality there.

i cannot find these anywhere and i really need one

The clash? My dad would be proud

You have to get that rust off of that guide pin looking thing where the tape goes around the rubber roller. I saw one that was rusty. That rust is just going to cut into your tape.

Excelente

just curious, where you were able to find and snag a belt drive for an old walkman?

please do more walkman videos theyre surely interesting

12:58 quick tip, if you want to sample the colour you wish to use without the hassle of getting mistakes and redo your paints, use those big disposable clear/white spoons, to sample your paints. Just spray on to those spoons then compare them. Without potentially damaging your workpiece.

thật tuyệt khi được sở hữu những sản phẩm/ tác phẩm như này

hey man awesome vid what ever happened to that fake walkman you had also I've been subbed since 1000 subscribers or something and I just wanna say you're doing great still

Almost always early, because of the notifications

i wish you replaced and optimized the lengths for all the runs of wire

look into molotow paints , they are super high quality and cheap and pre primed

I got mine like new it was working well but from one day to other stopped sounding from one channel head is clean do you have an idea could help? thanks in advance

Does anyone know where I can get a clear 2ds housing???

Hey, I found an unmarked Maxell UR-60 and neither of my folks have a way to play it, where do you recommend I go to get a working casette player?

Why not get some decal paper to reproduce the markings on the face. Then clear coat the silver piece to protect your work

Nice watchable show, jealous that particular model is well above my budget. Where did you purchase that orange/brown tape for securing the wires, I also want to stock up on that :)

7:06 What spray did you use to clean the Walkman?

Considering the missing text, do you have any experience with decal transfer? That would likely work quite fell. A bit tiny text...
