About this Blog

Hello everyone,
My name is TheLion. I am an Audiophile and a 'Walkman' collector. I have started this blog for all those who share the same interest. On this blog, I will share my love with the world of Personal Stereos. This is limited only to Personal Stereos and Minidisc Players and maybe some other unique gadgets. The common rule with all those Personal Stereos is their State-of-the-Art; High-Quality Sound, Excellent build and Unique design - in other words, Personal Hi-Fidelity Analog music players for the soulful man. The main interest (but not limited to) in Walkmans is AIWA Personal Stereos from their early years' product line from 1984 to 1991. The main interest in Minidiscs (but not limited to) is Sharp Minidiscs. I will post pictures of rare Walkmans and Minidiscs with information. Thank God for making all this possible, I hope you all will enjoy my blog.
Note: I started this blog in 2011 to offer a unique perspective for educational purposes in the world of personal Stereo. I will gladly share most of the info regarding the gadgets displayed on this blog. However, Since this blog consumes a lot of time and great efforts to assemble and maintain as current as possible, I do not get paid or gain (thru advertisement) any money to do so. Hence, I do it in my free time.

SANYO JJ-P2 / MG-P44


SANYO JJ-P2 / MG-P44

Sanyo introduces: 
The Headphones Stereo JJ - Cassette Case size portables


JJ Headphones Stereo now in a size of a Cassette Case ! ! !

If you think about it, it's very luxurious fun to be with music anytime and anywhere. I feel luxurious because there are ways to enjoy as many people and music as you can. Naturally, I want to be more simple and more in a nice mood. So, rather than an expensive one, JJ is good - a small luxury together with you in the pocket.


A stereo player with built-in Dolby and good sound. I am sorry that the tape is too perfect, but we got a good sound player that got smaller, for ease of use. You can get along very much like that. Now, I will give you a "Seitaku" – a small luxury, sized to a cassette case size - it's a hard wish filled carefully.

  1. These players seem to have a very bad technical problem of popping the cassette reels off while using them. You will go to switch directions on the player but then notice that only one reel of the cassette is turning. This is when a gear on the backside of the reel falls of the spool somehow. I have three of these exact players and the two that I got working both did this in a matter of very short time. Can happen to either reel too. I believe its due to a friction fit and over the years they lose that friction and fall off..

    1. Hi Lincoln,
      Yes, I am quite aware of that issue, there are a few Sanyo models that are affected by this issue, it could happen on both reels. the problem is mainly because of lubrication that dries out over the years, especially when they are not in use for a long period of time, and then you try to test them or use them again. once they fall off it is very hard to get them back unless, of course, you know how to fix it and have the right parts to replace.
      Thank you for your comment.
      Regards, TheLion.
