Dave RupertSorry, everyone. I hate to rub it in your face, but I was cooler than you in 1990 and had this: https://walkman.land/sony/wm-af54

@colly "Dave, you don't strike me as particularly... sports"
Back in the day I was very sports. I played basketball with my neighbor Alicia (she had a net and was actually good), I made skate videos with my friend Adrian who had a flop. I could do the whole monkeybars. And I rode bikes and did paper routes with my friend Preston. So yeah. I was sports, thank you very much.
Moritz Glantz@davatron5000 @colly This site is very cool. I am trying to find out which were the two models I had. Not so easy. One was the bulkiest white Walkman you could ever imagine (needed 4 AA batteries I think) and the other one was blue, just a little bigger than an actual cassette and it had… A REPEAT FUNCTION which I though was the coolest thing ever.
Ste Grainer@davatron5000 And even if you weren’t sports, yellow is an awesome color!
Doug Wilson@davatron5000 @colly OH DAMN, that's the one I really wanted but could never afford!
@onpaperwings @colly fwiw, we weren't rich but my parents got divorced in 1990 and I think this was a consolation prize.
@davatron5000 @colly LOL HAHA 😬
Kim Johannesen@davatron5000 @colly The Sony Sports series is the pinnacle of product design.

@davatron5000 I had that one too. Extremely cool. With the gray buttons.
Jonathan Snook@davatron5000 I'm digging through and struggling to find the walkman that matches what I remember having growing up. It had the gumstick battery on the bottom, a metal case, with plastic buttons on the side. I spent about $300 on it at the time and loved it. This comes the closest to what I remember: https://walkman.land/sony/wm-104
Phillip UptonNot only did I have one of the yellow sony walkman tape players… I also had their yellow walkman cd player
