I think I’ll have to buy and keep it as a collector’s item...

Before they take it away, how about one last listen?

Oh...the memories! Now I really feel old. When are they going to start phasing out 8 track tape players? :)
Speaking of old I was just going through my vinyl collection over the weekend and came across a 45 I forgot I had, a rare Beach Boys record, it’s the song “Surfin’” on an old X label.

Still have mine. Still use it, although the cassette player stopped working on of the last couple times it was dropped.
I should probably get another one before it's too late.
I haven't found a radio of comparable size that gets AM, which doesn't lose the signal whenever you take a step.

I have an i-pod that I call a “Walkman” out of habit. My 16 and 13 year old daughters always correct me.

I have been absorbed into the nano/iPod/shuffle/mp3 player collective. Resistance is futile.

I still have a great Tears for Fears cassette that served me quite well through many an overseas journeys in my Walkman.

I saved up my paperboy money to spend over $250 for the Walkman 2, complete with the extra D cell battery booster pack.

Sony created radios that would fit in your pocket. When they couldn’t get the size down, they went to making shirts with bigger pockets.

I still have the one I carried and listened to throughout Desert Shield/Storm in '91.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I listened to Guns N Roses "Appetite for Destruction" on it while over there.

Once these units are sold, new cassette Walkmans will no longer be available through the manufacturer. I'm shocked to learn that up until now, new Walkmans were available!
I'd just assumed production on these things ceased twenty years ago.

“which was called the Soundabout in the U.S”
What? I never heard this term. Although, I was 10 then and didn’t really remember the Walkman sensation until maybe I was 12.

The only thing I’ve ever used mine for was listening to FM. They always drained batteries way too much when playing tapes. Nowadays, though, with an 80g ipod (and Rockbox, hee, hee) my Walkman sits idle...alongside my D-25 Discman.
