I have literally never touched, used or even looked at a walkman in person. This channel has made me want to buy gameboy pockets, not it's making me want a walkman!!! Damn you!!!

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Buy both!

Plays song for 0.2 seconds: *_Entire video gets copyrighted._* I love how you don't try to artificially fluff your videos to 10 minutes. Straight to the point and I like that.

Ah yes I had a feeling! But forgot the name. Thanks.

Cool! I had this same Walkman in 1987. The best part about it was the hum I’d hear through the headphones when I pressed play, along with the hiss :-)

@MultiDearDiary 6 лет назад

I remember that song from Matilda great scene also from Ice age haha!! Shawn is the real MVP 😄 I have decided to fix my walkman after this video. I hope it will turn out okay 😊

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

You got both of them! Send me a message on twitter if you get stuck!

@Lucy-Hall 6 лет назад

I remember listening to Send Me On My Way as a kid when watching both those films, and the first iPod I got in year 9 had the song on it and so much nostalgia came flowing back from listening to it. It's a real diamond in the rough :)

One thing that might help with cleaning contacts is using sandpaper on them. I did it with some of my units I thought wouldnt make it but it worked

@thegiantfinds 4 года назад

this was my childhood walkman. You are right, it was a lower end model but as a kid to have a walkman was a big deal

Im purchasing this model. It abit worries me that you said Low end model but does it sound good? how long did it hold up?

@CatOnVenus183 3 месяца назад

@@farlord9264 it was one of the cheapest of their range. Better than modern tape players but definitely not great

@ThisKid0123 2 года назад

Ever since I've started watching your videos I've fallen in love with walkmans and now I have refurbished 3 and decided to try a gameboy pocket. Ive also ordered a cheap original gameboy to fix and put in my collection (im only 16 so most people think i'm quite weird)

@the3rdconchord 4 года назад

Man, I just found a Walkman WM-F31 in my local charity shop. Bought a couple of belts and installed them with the help of your other videos... THEN found this video which confirmed I did everything right. The insides are near-identical! Great videos! You talk about usually doing video game stuff but it's good to see these Walkmen (Plural?) have an audience.

@marcosoccol2524 4 года назад

It was also released in Italy/Europe under the name wm-31

@MikeDS49 Месяц назад

I have the nearly identical WM-F41with a tuner, but the player internals are cheaper, with a plastic pulley instead of brass, and the motor has no foam damping pads. I would choose your model as it probably has better playback properties once regreased and aligned.

@stevengreen81 6 лет назад

Your channel is just amazing my walkman stopped working i youtubed it found your video and managed to repair it same problem u showed the belt had came off too slack but since then i been watching your videos half of day so i will be using your videos to help repair my faulty gameboys i own thanks for sharing your repairs your awesome ty

@avxryy5416 4 года назад

I have the exact same one and I replaced the belts but the motor isn’t running 😭 don’t know what to do maybe it’s a lost cause

@Zerakiel 6 лет назад

quick question - what kind of industry is this in? ive been watching some reburf vids and im super interested to learn how to do some of these stuff!

@professionalvr 2 года назад

Right now I'm listening to Tangra II(A Bulgarian New Wave album from 1986 by Tangra II) on the same Walkman. It was hard bringing it back to life, but finally IT'S ALIVE !!!!!

Clay had the older sister/brother. The wm 31 which had a horizontal belt clip. Very similar design.

@fisher02554 6 лет назад

Aye, those Ice Age vibes! Love me some good ROOT.

@SiriusXAim 5 лет назад

You kinds overpaid for that. But walkman prices are shooting up. I remember seeing them for about £20 or so. This is one of the first, "cheapo" walkmans, starting the post 1985 trend that I call "the cheapenning". Previous models had double flywheels, and were more rugged all throughout.

@christianmccauley7340 2 года назад

Walkmans are brutally priced now

@americandomino3656 2 года назад

There’s an increase in sales rn because of stranger things and they are WAYYY overpriced

@SiriusXAim 2 года назад

@@americandomino3656 It started with Guardians of the Galaxy tbh. I wish I had caught on to the craze in the mid 2000's because at that point even the most saught after models were relatively cheap. Now I keep them as a retirement plan considering how crazy they pop up in price!!!!

@reinco 3 года назад

I Just got a WM-31 which is the same as the WM-41 shown here. except for the position of the belt clip. On the type plate the type is listed as WM-31/32/41.

@systemBuilder 2 года назад

People dump on this all-plastic malaysian model (WM-31/WM-41 or WM-F31 / WM-41 or with equalizer WM-33 / WM-43 or WM-F33 / WM-F43) but in fact, consumer reports in the usa tested 25 models and this one CRUSHED all walkmans EVEN ONES FROM SONY at $100 or less! And this design-for-manufacturing model cost only $40 and could be sold in blister packs in drug stores! The high-volume and low-cost-of-assembly (only 3 screws) meant VALUE FOR MONEY! When I learned this I rushed out to buy one for every room in my house! This is a keeper! Better sound than any earlier model !!

@itsmemnmxd3701 6 лет назад

You should do the yellow water proof extra bass and radio Walkman. That is the one my dad had and he gave to me before we lost it in a house fire I’d love to get another one and refurbish it. I didn’t have it long but I have many memories with it. Thx for reading

@eggshellskullrule7971 4 года назад

You mIght wanna try out the WM-8 in this series of fundamentalist walkmans which runs on 4 PCS of AA batteries, outputting 35mW a channel. It will allow you to run Beyerdynamik DT990 low impedance model. I use it with my Sennheiser 414 Signature and it sounds fabulous, somehow comparable to my home decks such as Sansui SC-5300.

What is the size of the belts inside this model ? Just got a Sony WM-31 today and have desided to fix it.

@Loveletters89 6 лет назад

From all the Walkmans I have fixed (we have the same hobby) That is the most simple and easiest fix EVER! P.S. You looking for an amazing quality "Walkman" for a decent price and amazing sound, I'd say you should get your hands on a Toshiba KT-S1 😤 Easy fix and pretty similar to the TPS-L2/WM-3 in look.

@kiko12000 6 лет назад

Ah another walkman.... Thank you for being the ONE PERSON that does walkman repair vids like this, just wish walkmans weren't getting so expinsive! I'm thinking about a kickstarter campaign to fund a new, smaller version of the Tps-l2, if you or anyone else thinks its a good idea, let me know... Also, a challenge for you Elliot, for your next walkman, can you try to find a sony sport WM-F73 to fix? I have two that the tape decks work, but I can't get any audio from the deck, just the radio, same issue with both. You'd be the one to figure it out! :-)

@DibIrken 6 лет назад

Blake Romo if you are gonna start a campaign, please use the specs from the sony wm D3 please!

@blakeromo 6 лет назад

Dib Irken that's a good Idea. This is just something i've been looking into with the rising prices of original walkmans, and the recent releases of cheap boomboxs and higher-quality decks that have come to market With the intrest of tape being a format again, this is something we need. But if this was going to happen I need help, ideas, (like yours) and ultimately, a team to help design this, and start the campaign... (Any Ideas RetroFuture?)

@Magic_Doge 4 года назад

i live in europe and my mom gave me the exact same one, so i think they were also released here

Saverio Petrocelli If you're talking about the rubber drive belts inside of the machine, you can find those on eBay pretty easily. For buying belts specific to a particular model you can go to "mihokm"s eBay store where he sells belts specific to particular models.
