I just picked up one of these things. Reviews are excellent, apparently one of the holy grails in CD players. AND it matches the Sony FH series

 

[mellymelsr]

[redbenjoe]

you are up too late

 

[Superduper]

Says the guy who is 1 hour (or is it 2 ) earlier in the time zone differential.

 

[blah blah]

Dang I like both of those. Never seen either...

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Wow Ira that white Discman is sweet, beats the hell out of the very common flat black that I find stacks of at the thrifts.

 

[redbenjoe]

it gets better ( or worse )

now some fool
has spent 4 hours making a custom plexi case for it :'-(

await the photos |-)
---although the tool did such a great job
and the case is sooooooooo very clear --that he cant get the case
to show up in the shots !!!??

 

[floyd]

beautiful white discman got to be the nicest one i ever saw.

 

[redbenjoe]

thanks floyd --

btw --sony made a gorgeous series of several of these all-metal models --
but they were the FIRST portable//personal CD players --
made BEFORE the anti-shock was invented --

so - these are not so hot for outside boomer bangers

 

[redbenjoe]

ok --showing off both my photo and plexi skills
get ready !! :grim:

 

[71spud]

Did you draw a vacuum on that too?

Seriously though that is a Museum Piece...

Hey Ira, I remember when those were new, they were EXPENSIVE!

This is the one I used to have, good player, but very early technology, if you exhaled by it, it would skip. But back when CD players were new and CD releases had dynamic range, these really made everything else sound like cr@p.

ok --showing off both my photo and plexi skills
get ready !! :grim:

You forgot the base and brass ID plate. Now go back to the shop and carve out a nice mahogany base.
