Another newbie - G'day from Melbourne, Australia...

Great site!

I'm mainly into walkmans, although I find reel to reels very interesting (I just don't have the space for them at home).

Is it wrong to like 8 track??????? Those cartridges are sooo cool... Shame about the decks and the playback quality...

My Walkman collection includes a Sony WM-70 (from a thrift shop) & a Sony Outback Walkman WM-AF79 I bought in NYC in 1991 (I think it was Uncle Steve's Music).

I love retro stuff and my holy grail (I think I will hear the groans from here) is none other than the AIWA HS-PO7 MkII (yep, I'm another huge BTTF fan) but have been looking for ages and have not managed to get one yet.

Hi and welcome to Boomboxery. There's a few collectors down Melbourne way, some of them even collect walkmans.

I'll stick to sunny Brisbane thanks.

Rather pop oriented, but has some typical (nice) 80s rap 808 based sounds in it.

Strange that growing up down under in the 80s I do not think I ever heard (of) it - was it obscure ?

no not that obscure, i grew up in the Pilbara & i remember it
