Love it Deech!

Question. I see that Sony has a Walkman demo tape but I never got one with the two models of Sony I purchased many years ago, nor my Sanyo.

Were these reserved for certain series ie DD models or ?

Thanks Deech!

That still is one beautiful collection and Goodman, your work is outstanding. It really is the little details that complete a collection.

In the UK the Sony TPS-L2's had a demo tape - I remember very well listening to said tape in Dixons in early 1980! Usual demo fodder, instrumentation split widely on both channels & mainly just music no vocals! Made for a great stereo experience at the time.....

I confess to never owning a new Sony boomer Nick. Did all Sony's include a demo tape or just select models?

Thanks. Good to see you too T-Ster. :) I promise i will be posting more
Got some great stuff to post about.
The bottom right is a Head Demagnitizer tape that works with battery.
Nice!

Do you happen to have the Sony demo tape with the "Plane flyover stereo pan test" on it?

I will have a look (or maybe a listen) Netsurfer at the sonys demo tapes i got.
Do you have a link on what this recording sounds?

Cheer guys, the airplanes are on the A side of the Sony TPS-L2 demonstration tape. I remember trying to get it on film, but it sounded really bad because of the low quality camera mic auto level crap. So I only did the B side. Link may not be visible for some, youtube told its blocked in japan :lol:

Maybe you recognize the Walkman Deech, I thinks its the one you had in Greece for the stereo2go logo :thumbsup:

Regretfully, no. I had heard that the famous "Plane flyover stereo pan test" was at the beginning of side A of the TPS-L2 Walkman's demo tape...Allegedly, only the original "Blue label" version.

Michiel ofcourse i remember that exact TPS-L2.
A Crazy reproduction of the S2GO logo with real units.
Also used the Sharp CT-6001 TV Boombox a Japanese only mahine.
Sadly this logo is gone forever now among with the old forum.

Talking about walkmans i recently found some Original Parts from Sony Japan
Its the first time i got original parts in their original packages and with the original plastic bag,
with a receipt from February 1986 too.
I think those are some cool finds. The parts are Lids from WM-3 , TPS-L2 AND WM-2.
