One for fellow spoolers: WalkmanLand is a database of all 80s/90s portable cassette players (found via @simplebits' fine newsletter). My WM-22 still outperforms any modern alternatives and it's lovely to get this much detail. https://walkman.land/sony/wm-22
Sony WM-22 ▶ Walkman.land

The WM-22 was the first Walkman model that was sold in the UK for under £30.

@colly @simplebits You’ve seen this over video, but mine is on there. Kinda wish I had a more boxy one now, but the slim ones are great in the hand.

A modified version of the WM-EX612, or a WM-EX510 with remote control, sold in Japan for tourists. It comes with a dual-voltage battery charger for international use, and a Sony alkaline and a Ni-Cd rechargeable battery.

@nazhamid @Luke @colly @simplebits @matthiasott I had this one back in the day. I remember it so vividly because it was the first player I had that wasn't a busted hand-me-down. The latch made such a big thunk when it closed, and I would fidget with these huge buttons endlessly while listening: https://walkman.land/sony/wm-af59
