I'm also going the TCM-600 route. I ordered one for about $35 and plan to modify it cosmetically to match the TPS-L2.
where did you order one....auction etc....cant find any out there.....
i thought the TCM-600 was a recorder not a player. All the websites i go to say its just a recorder but can it play cassettes too? im confusedThis thread is really pulling together and I love it! JrZyBud, I'm not sure that the C Clamps aren't complete, I think it's just that they're partly colored. This is a tape I dug out of a box of cassettes at home and what led me down the TDK route because it matched so perfectly besides the ovals and swoop.

If you look at the c clamps, they're partially colored red, so I'm going to guess the ones on the CDing 2 are black or grey colored instead of red.
I also received my TCM-600 in the mail today, it's nice and hefty, just like you'd expect a thirty-six year old cassette player to be.

I'm not entirely sure, LegendaryOutlaw, I just ordered some tapes off ebay and will let you know the details of the colors as soon as I get them in the mail. Also, I made up the Awesome Mix Vol. 1 labels in photoshop using the album photo. I'm actually planning on getting some labels made up at a local print shop, but for now I'm going to be using my printer for test purposes at home.

That picture is set to exact proportions of 8 1/2 by 11 inch printer paper, so if you print it out with no borders, it should be life size and ready to be cut and glued onto a cassette. When printed, the label should be about 3 3/4 inches wide and fit on the tape, which is 3 7/8 wide.

I read that that movie actually bought all 16 L2s that were on ebay at the time and will be holding on to them for the sequel. Makes it harder to get one that way.
Has anyone found any "close enough" headphones? All the listings I've see for the real deals (with or without orange foam covers) are about the same price as a full Walkman.

That was a major dick move by them
Do a search for "headphones with orange pads" and you will find a seller in the UK that has a lot of "close enough" headphones Grudgehammer originally found them in his thread: http://www.therpf.com/f78/starlord-cosplay-no-helmet-218415/
I read in an interview somewhere that the movie people couldn't even find original headphones and just made their own replicas.
