I’m Such A Geek

What audio geek does not appreciate some nekkid pix?

I want to say that getting the top cover off was the hardest point, but getting it back on was much, much worse. More than once the fiddly bits that keep it locked in place went flying when I was trying to get them back in. Thankfully I found them each time.

Curiosity almost killed the cat.

Saturday Afternoon Coffee and Tunes

This particular CD Walkman, the Sony D-EJ915 is among my favorites the company produced in the late 90s. While it has no built-in display (you need the external remote to see track numbers, times, and to access all the secondary functions like programming and sound control), it does have physical buttons on the unit itself to handle all the basic functions. I have the remote, but I hate Sony MD/CD remotes so it’s always important to me that I can access the basic functions from the player itself.

I understand the 915 was their flagship model from 1999 to 2000 and it reeks of quality. The top case is solid aluminum, has skip-free G-Protection and seems to run forever on two gum stick batteries. It’s also among the last players Sony made that allowed you to see the spinning disc (a big plus for me just because).

Shadowfax’s Dreams of Children dates from about 1984 and while not era-specific to the player (something YouTube guys like to point out when demoing/repairing their equipment), for me it invokes memories of San Francisco and embodies my whole “New Age” music period. I found it at a thrift store for $1 earlier this week.

Afternoon Tunes

Yeah, that’s my newest Sony CD Walkman. I bought it labeled “untested – for parts or repair” to fill up my last shadow box and it’s one of those rare “untested” beasts that not only looks great but is actually completely functional. This one’s a keeper and will not end up under glass.
