To share eaily all my walkmans and other gadgets in my collection, I’ve created a new page where you can see my walkman collection. You can filter to see a particular line of walkmans, a year of manufacturing or a line (like DD or EX). At this moment there are just a few, but I’ll […]

I’ve received recently a tape that surprised me too much.

Hello and welcome to another of my reviews! This should be an interesting read for most of you here I think.
