to overseas countries as one of Japanese culture.
Oxford English dictionary in 1986 and Petit Larousse (French) in 1981
contained the word of WALKMAN .
It might be the first model of WALKMAN because the model number
TPS-L2 is indicated.
It is an old item but in good working condition.
Unfortunately, headphone and adapter for power supply are not equipped.
