Sony Walkman TPS-L2

"It sounds like it weighs a ton," Sony, 1980.

Every song played through earbuds or headphones from a phone, iPod, or any other mobile device today started with the Walkman, in 1979. It was the first mobile music player to fit in a pocket or on a belt, introduced the first lightweight headphones, and normalized listening to headphones in public, creating a soundtrack for day to day life.

This model replicates the Walkman at a 1:1 scale in classic pale blue with bright highlights and seamless functions. Open the cassette slot to insert music and plug in the lightweight orange headphones in one of two inputs to complete the look. Though later versions did away with this part, the model also has an orange "Hotline" button with a satisfying press and return feature. There is also removable battery storage lid with two AA's loaded inside. Lastly, this is compatible with the cassette tape from set 76217 "I am Groot".
