Awesome contest!
I am from 1981 but - one way or another - I never owned a walkman ( nor a GameBoy ). I also feel like going back to other ways of listening to music, when outdoors, so rocking a walkman and headphones like this would be great!
My guess is 152
( I first wanted to say 222, as 2 and 22 are my favorite numbers, but that seems a little too high a number )
Heya - I'm sorry you didn't get to experience a walkman the first time around - but hopefully this will be your chance to revisit that golden age of walking around with a battery powered cassette playing machine attached to your waist and rocking those foam headphones!
A fine guess anyway - thanks loads for taking part - I wonder if anyone else will get in a guess before the deadline tomorrow!

Cheers mate! ~
Even if I don't win ( and that's likely ), it might inspire me to find myself a walkman.
I believe I even dreamed of discovering one in the house that I'm renting, days ago.
Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the big reveal :<)
Greetings from a Dutch
mandino in PortugalHaha that dream is trying to tell you something! Do you own/play vinyl out of interest?
Probably :<)
I sure play vinyl and have owned a bunch of record players, since a decade and a half or so. When I moved to Portugal, three years ago, I got my dad's old record player and his vinyl collection. I already had built up a collection of myself. My favorite part is the dozens of movie soundtracks that I own ( I used to study film in Uni and was an indie shoestring budget filmmaker - on and off - for a decade or so ). These days I write books.
So nice that you got your Dad's record collection! My parents gave all there's away about 10 years ago :(
I have only really just started building my own vinyl collection. (for the second time - I'm old enough that the very first music I bought was on Vinyl - though only just old enough!)
I guestimate you to be from the early to mid 70s. You look pretty young though ( says the boyish looking 40 year old ). Great to hear that you got your parents record collection.
Ah, wait. They gave them away, not to you...
epic fail
When I started buying music, around 1993, it was the start of the CD era, although I bought cassettes too and made mixtapes, recording from the radio, on my double deck radio casette player, from the early to mid 90s or so.
I also still owe a couple of dozen of movies on VHS. Unfortunately I don't have a working VCR though, these days.
I was born in 79! So my very first music purchases as a child were Vinyl but that didn't last long before I moved onto cassettes and then CDs.
Yup. Sad times...
