Sony WM-BF58 Sports Walkman

[babya]

I got a Sony sports Walkman-a WM-BF58 for $6 today.

It's in good condition-only missing was the radio tuning knob and comes with MDR-E215 earphones in a mataching yellow color.

Features:
-AM/FM radio
-has the It's A Sony logo on the front
-relessed in 1988
-Solar alarm clock/atopwatch
-Part of the Sports Walkman series
-2 headphone jacks (only 2 Walkman models released in 1988 had this-including mine).

I have some questions regarding this Sports Walkman model:
What headphones came originally with this model?
Also, how easy would it be to replace the belt on the WM-BF58?

The user manual doesn't indicate how long you should "charge" the solar alarm clock though.

Notice in the US-it is known as the WM-AF58, while in Europe/Australia it's the WM-BF58.

i had one of those, that was originally my uncles...

but i lend it to a friend of mine that was on the army and someone stole it

from his locker.

so much for this family airloom.



i still have the phones, they are also yellow, but have the metallic strap over the head, and go

INSIDE the ears, they sound good. good to bust your ears.

i gotta get one of those in later times, man, i miss it.

from then on, NEVER LEND ANYONE ANYTHING.
