When was the last time someone on this m-list purchased
a Cassette walkman ? Are they still very popular ?
They are still on the shelves but I don't know anyone
who has bought one in the last 3 years. Perhaps
parents still buy them for their kids? <shrug>
I bought one in 1990 (the smallest Panasonic available
at the time ... cost $400 AUD) .. it lasted 3 years
and after 5-6 trips to the repair agent they declared
the motor was cactus and not available as a spare part.
Bummer
The next thing I bought was a MZR-3 .. cost $1200 AUD
One trip to the repair agent in year 2000 ($150), and
it still works.
Never looked at a tape walkman again.

But that may also be it's downfall, too. Cassette walkmans came down in
price, once higher-end portable audio became available.
