Answering a msg of , from Jim Raver to All:
JR> Has anybody in here ever seen a walkman type cassette deck with Dolby
JR> S? I'm looking for any leads on who might make one.
JR> Having chrome tape compatability would also be a major plus as all I

I don't know if they make them any more, I haven't seen one in a while.
Sony made one called the Walkman Pro which is about 1 1/2 x 7 x 4. I have
one of the early ones which only had B but a couple years after I got mine
(early 80's) they included Dobly S. They have normal, CrC2, Metal tape,
pitch control and they record. The model on mine is a WM-D6. They were
going for about $250 the last time I saw one. I've only seen them mail
order. They came with a leather case and an expensive set of headphones.
A few years ago I bought a rechargeable battery pack, power adaptor and
foam pads for mine at the local Sony service center which cost me over $70.
