Starlord's sony walkmen? guardian of the galaxy?

Vadersville · Oct 24, 2014

Painted mine then found a guy with a dremel who cut out the window for me and a few other holes for the mp3 player. So had to redo the paint, that meant sanding off what was already on there and now my drinkman is scratched to heck. Any suggestions on how to make it smooth again? Currently trying some wet sand paper...

Take painters tape and cover the arrow. Take some medium sandpaper and sand the arrow. This will expose the arrow but leave the rest of the tape intact. Paint liberally. Let dry then remove the tape!

Have had a read through maybe I missed it but there is a replica of the tape in hmv limited edition it has all the songs from the film on which is an added bonus

not exact but great for costume none the less

This person on etsy is back selling them. He asked me where I heard about him. I said RPF, hopefully not to be confused with the Rawanda...

I don't know if y'all know but I put this up on shapeways in case no one wants to shell out a bunch of cash for an original.

Just got my Walkman back from getting repaired. I now have a working unit, and only have about $300.00 total in it.. WOOHOO!!

Now to get the soundtrack copied to my cassette and find a pair of MDR-5A headphones..

Soulinertia · Jan 21, 2015

Some new finds!

Soulinertia · Feb 8, 2015

After some diligent hunting I found a pair of Sony MDR-5, very similar to the MDR-5a! Just wanted to share a few pics:

do the genuine walkmans (walkmen?) look easy to dismantle?

I'm thinking of getting hold of one and gutting it to fit my iphone in it. Ill just replace the electronics with some foam to hold the iphone in place. Ill also stick an image of the cassette to the inside of the window to make it look like the cassette is in there. I'm mainly doing this just as something to go running with.

edit:

infact here is an image of a similar project on instructables. (http://www.instructables.com/id/Walkman-Ipod-Case-DIY/step3/One-safe-and-sound-iPod/)

This walkman is held together by the inside guts. You would have to take the shell off and make an inside box to put the shell back over. There are two to three pieces that would screw into the inside box.

Considering what they're worth I'm not sure this is the best idea. If you want to go that route just get a drinkman and modify it.

Just snaked a real working original tps-l2 off eBay for a real steal and was wondering where people had luck finding the mdr style silver/orange headphones to match?

Same here I got a great deal on my TPS, But forget a MDR 5a headphones and if you do find them there going to cost.. replica is about the only way to go..

CapAmerica30 · Feb 26, 2015

Just got my tps-l2! It plays like a dream and just pressing the awesome mix into the walkman gives you a starlord feeling!

The eBay seller I bought from did a tremendous job restoring it and having the belts switched. I have zero restoration to do on it.

Now on to the headphones.

If anyone is interested in getting a copy of awesome mix 1 and 2 on an a/b side tape, contact seller cosplayincorporated on etsy. The awesome mix 2 is speculative, less the first track, ain't no mountain high enough, but the selection is as eclectic as the soundtrack to the actual movie.

eBay seems to be the only route at vintage mdr- style headphones. They pop up every now and then, but I can't find any anywhere else. If anyone gets any leads on vintage pairs, please post!

"Hey! Go buy pirated music!"

CapAmerica30 · Feb 27, 2015

Hah, more like "if you want one right now without having to go through all the effort to make one yourself or convert the tracks, you can find it here on a legitimate merchant website." But your version is simpler. Although, if you wanted "pirated music" buying a set of cassette tape songs from the 1970s probably wouldn't be the best way to go about it.

Or you could, y'know, actually support artistry and buy the soundtrack.

Soulinertia · Feb 27, 2015

Is there actually anyone here that hasn't already bought the soundtrack?
