This is the SONY first-generation Walkman TPS-L2.

Preceded by the business Pressman, this is the inaugural model developed with the concept of enjoying stereo sound while walking. It uses sturdy components and delivers high sound quality.

Prior to listing, it has been fully overhauled and is in fully working condition, including cleaning of all parts, restoration treatment, replacement of drive-system parts, and sound adjustment—essential maintenance for continued use.

It offers high sound quality and is extremely rare.


It produces powerful and great sound.

The built-in hotline (orange button) is also operational.


Basic internal and external cleaning, mechanical part cleaning, reassembly, main belt replacement, earphone jack cleaning, head part cleaning and mirror finishing, roller replacement with a good part & cleaning, volume component cleaning, motor restoration work, azimuth adjustment, speed adjustment.

Confirmation of each operation:

Play, stop, fast forward, rewind, pause, cue/review, auto shut-off.

Long-term operation test, listening test by actual audition.


Measuring instruments were used for speed adjustment, wow and flutter measurement, and azimuth adjustment.

Appropriate chemicals and oils were used in the repair process.


Although it is a Showa-era machine released about 46 years ago, through disassembly and cleaning, replacement of crucial parts, and detailed sound adjustment, it has been finished to a condition very close to when it was first released.

I would like to pass it on to someone who will take good care of it.


It is a vintage item with signs of use and dirt, but you can enjoy pleasant sound just like back in the day.

That being said, it is used vintage electronics (antiques).

Those who require after-sales service or are excessively nervous should refrain from purchasing.
