All I can say is you guys are AWESOME (mix volume 1)....
WOOHOO!!!
Just scored a TPS-L2 on eBay for about $150. Seller indicates it *may* be non-functional (and I've been on eBay long enough to just translate that to *is non-functional*), but even if I can't repair it, I've got a semi-screen-accurate prop. Needs the "Walkman" branding to be perfect, isn't there someone on Etsy with decals for them?
I still need headphones and a tape, and if I can get the player working, I'll have to get my old cassette deck out of the attic and record Awesome Mix Vol. 1 off my iPod.
AWwwcrap. That was YOU who beat me out? Arrgh!! I was hovering over the mouse button waiting to make my bid and when the auction got down to two seconds, I clicked....knowing I had it...and then, disaster. I got the log in screen. I forgot to log on!! GAH!
Sure wish our UK brethren would open up their ebay.uk sales to Worldwide! There are alot for sale and most of them are under $100 on British pound bids!
Finally finished my Drinkman conversion. Modified another pair of headphones too.

I just used a small MP3 player attached to the back. Downloaded the full album to a micro SD card. Simple solution, works great!

I thought I might still want to use the existing opening for a future upgrade so I just found a small piece to fill it in. I made the orange button out of sculpey and glued it to the piece.

A small rubber ring holds it in place

For the headphones I cut out part of the metal adjuster with a dremel. It took forever and kept getting really hot!

Thanks!@Chrysoprasis, I picked the belt clip from Tandy Leather. I don't remember the model number. But if you go to there web site they do have it. It's a rivet on belt clip
Could you possibly let us know what the model number is for the headphones you modified?
They are a pair of vintage Realistic Nova headphones.
