Expertise
I can answer many (if not all) questions about collectible walkmans.
Experience in the area
Have been collecting for 4 years, I have over 450 of them from over 20 brands.
Organizations
We have a mailing list at www.pocketcalculatorshow.com
What do you like about this subject?
There were thousands of walkman (and walkmanlike) products marketed after 1979... many had very innovative features, and many are very rare today.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I still have many on my "holy grails" list... and I have pictures of thousands of models as well as owning over 450 walkmans myself.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
Sony and the other big name portable audio makers did not often send their most sophisticated models to the US market.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
Sony will not release a listing of all the models they have manufactured... new and unknown ones surface almost monthly, making the search very interesting!
