Worlds Smallest Walkman! Aiwa HS-P05

[MyOhMy]

Fantastic score, Northerner. This Walkman is a true beauty - dibs, dibs and double dibs if ever you're thinking of moving this on.

Already sold to AO I'm afraid

:annoyed:

Well done on the sale.

Well I made a significant profit!...but I did sell it for about half what I could've got on eBay...seems this is a popular beast!

Nice but not the smallest. Not by a long way. Years ago we at Stereo2Go had a long discussion and the winner was the Sanyo JJ

I’d forgotten about this one. It was a good find and it went to a good home

It's a great unit. Typical Aiwa minimalism and a very early unit too, well 83/84.

Nice to hear from you again.

Hilarious! Good stuff.
After all these years - I still cannot tell if you are kidding.

Well it was probably the smallest at the time, though I think smaller ones followed it. Found this one locally but I know nothing about it as I only collect boomboxes. It's in great condition, fully working and complete with box, instructions and original earphones. Is this one any good?

I never thought I could be impressed by a walkman! It's beautiful! I do love the tape too.

 

[Northerner]

It’s a lovely looking thing for sure, think I paid £4 for it if memory serves me right

That cherry red is cherry!

Looks like my Aiwa HS-P02:

What about the Sony WM-10 ? Isn't that the smallest cassette player ever made?

You AIWA is excellent by the way.

 

[Northerner]

Yeh it was smallest at the time but then smaller ones came later

I found an old thread at S2G from about nine years ago that lists the smallest walkmans based on measurements:

Unofficially, the smallest walkman is the Sanyo JJ-P4/P5.
