Funny, I found my walkman a few months back and it still works! Don’t know what happened to the original earphones though – the ones with those felt pads that always fall off lol. I had to use modern ear buds, but pleased it still worked.
VHS players… I couldn’t get rid if those old tapes fast enough when DVDs came out. Now I find myself becoming a bit nostalgic for them…
I’ve not got a Walkman, but still got my portable CD player, which I guess if just as obsolete now LOL. I’ve still go some VHS tapes, couldn’t bring myself to part with them 🙂
