Here it is the one that started it all – the Sony Walkman TPS-L2 from 1979 – or maybe better known as Starlord’s Walkman from The Guardians of the Galaxy. Initially they called it different things in different territories. Originally marketed as the “Soundabout” in the U. The “Stowaway” in the U. And the “Freestyle” in Sweden but in Japan they called it the Walkman – so many US businessmen bought them in Japan and took them home that the Walkman name stuck and was eventually used across the world. This is one of the later ones that has “Walkman” embossed on the front – rather than the early ones that don’t. So this should be the perfect TPS-L2 for all you budding Starlords, working perfectly and it has the belt-clip case so you can wear it on your belt. I’ve included a pair of cheap look-a-like headphones with orange foams – these are not the original headphones but come brand new and boxed. It has the belt-clip case – these are just slightly too big to fit in a pocket and if he wants to get his Starlord on, then it has to have the case so he can wear it just like Starlord does. You won’t be disappointed when it arrives and if there are any issues they will be resolved to your satisfaction. As with all my refurbished Walkmans you don’t have to take my work for how good they sound because I provide you with a video so you can hear for yourself. I’m not a professional sound engineer – I feed the output from the walkman into the mic input on my Canon DSLR. These are complex analogue machines in a digital world – the old belt residue must be completely and meticulously removed – otherwise the new belt will wobble causing wow and flutter. Or search “YouTube Yermawn”. In lovely used condition – a few marks on the grey plastic strip due to it being kept in it’s case. Mechanically the belts had hardened so would no longer play – so I’ve installed 2 new belts, cleaned the head, roller and volume potentiometers – so it now plays perfectly, in stereo, at the right speed with no wow or flutter, it rewinds and fast-forwards exactly as it should. The volume adjusts smoothly without crackle or dropout. Battery terminals are corrosion free. The “Hotline” microphone also still works perfectly. The Belt-Clip case is in really nice condition. This Walkman is perfectly useable playing as good as the day it was new nearly 40 years ago! The headphones are new and boxed. I have 10 years experience refurbishing 100’s of Walkmans! You get what you pay for – there won’t be any disappointment when it arrives – it will work as described! If it IS as described and you change your mind – relist it yourself and feel free to reuse my Listing, Pictures and Video Link – you’ll probably make a profit! I’m not an audio engineer which is why I include a video so you can hear it play and judge for yourself. I do not extensively test these over periods of hours/days – I don’t have the time. My only guarantee is that it should work as you see in the video when it arrives. All items will be bubble wrapped and dispatched in a rigid cardboard box to ensure that they reach you without any damage in transit. See my other auctions for loads more cool Sony Walkmans.
