it tool 34 pages but i found my WM-38, a "Standard, low cost Walkman in light/baby blue with Dolby B."
@cwhartman I still like tapes!!!
this is a great site!
Ah my beloved Sony WM-F63. I miss the tactile feeling of every part of it. Smooth, soft, solid and robust, even if it was a bit heavy. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of it.
I'm sorry — THERE WAS A PINGU WALKMAN??

Bookmarking cos I have a story about this.
I tried to search for the Panasonic and Sony units I owned, but there are so many!
Found the Panasonic one. I wore it out! https://walkman.land/panasoni...
This Sony was the most important part of my freshman year of college: https://walkman.land/sony...
I had a bunch of these over the years through the 90's. My favorite was probably the Panasonic that recorded. I recorded a bunch of stuff from the radio that I still occasionally listen to with that, as well as a couple of concerts. I didn't find it on the site, but its probably still at my parents house.
Eventually I ended up with a high-end Sony (WM-EX677?) on closeout right around the time I was the only one who still cared about tapes. It was super tiny, had full-logic controls and Dolby B, but also had some weird slim rechargeable battery that didn't last long. It could use a AA in a sidecar setup, but it looked super clunky.
