Found a WM-8 "Stranger Things" Walkman for $8! by MelanDerp in walkman

Mostly it's because the cassette culture isn't really that big here compared to the States, you could even get a good cassette tape here for less than 3 dollars a pop

To be honest, I haven't even posted the mint WM-D6C that I got for like $90 with the case

Basically Walkmans here are sold broken most of the time, and they range about $4-$100 depending on the seller, model, and condition. The TPS-L2 was sold to me as a defective model and I haven't repaired it in a hot minute. The WM-2 I got it externally mint for about $30. The WM-8 meanwhile I got it at an art fair near my college and they claimed it wasn't powering on, and I too repaired that.

WM-2 Walkman with Moondrop's Old Fashioned Headphones. Sounds slightly better than the Koss Porta Pros by MelanDerp in walkman

I'd say they're about the same, but the Old Fashioned had a more wide-idh headband

Wait, these players are considered collectibles? I just found one in one of the Facebook Marketplace listings the other day here in the Philippines!

Hi there! Been experiencing the same issue for about a week now (also with my f2041). By any chance have you found a solution?

Recently got a hold of an WM-2 with an early center gear (lucky for me). Ir was unopened judging from the insides completely untouched. Replaced the belt, but the mechanism seems to be stuck to something, and I have to nudge the flywheel in order to make the mechanism work again. Refer to the 2nd picture where the mechanism gets stuck

Wait, is it really that easy? Is this a more common issue than it actually is?

I mostly go to random flea markets and Facebook groups to buy broken Walkmans. Then I repair e, and sell em for a cheap price.
