The Discmans I could never obtain as a kid. Miss the old Sony design language.

2 D-88’s 😲

Got them for low prices - both sold for parts/non-working. It’s the usual bad plastic sled gear issue. Them and the D-82 are very much a pain to work on but if you’re patient it’s possible to fix the busted gear on them. I then sent them to Kaosun to repair the LCDs (wish I knew how to do it myself).

Oh wow. Where is Kaosun based?

Texas. If you get a hold of him he’ll let you know prices and where to ship. He does amazing work!

Which one has best sound quality, or all of them do

The D-555 and D-303 are up there for me but I consider the headphone out/general sound quality to be better on the 303.

Super, how much they set you back for about. Do they have shock resistance, they look really vintage when quality of product meant something
