And the worst part is that I had the exact same model.

2002? Didn't they rename the Discman line to the CD Walkman around this time?

I remember seeing a Patreon exclusive video of a CD Walkman from 2003. I'm not sure if this is the first one to bear that name or not.

warehouse staff have already removed the artifact for safe keeping and replaced it with a hastily-sourced replica.

You guys thinking what I'm thinking? HEIST

I used to own one of those!

mine is in a box in the basement. My dad found a CD with songs from a German kid's TV-Show (Die Sendung mit der Maus) from my childhood a few years back. Playing this one CD is the only job of that player now. Still does it though.

It reminds me when I was visiting my older brother in Spain and we went to a tech museum. There was a Sinclair Spectrum and me and my brother were thilled to see it. My niece was astonished fisrt then she was picking on us for hours non stop" you're a pair of dinosaurs" "you belong to a museum" "any plans for retirement" . When I told my wife she was like "well you're almost forty honey" ☠️

Fuck this brings back great memories. I used to supply my whole school with CDs and tapes of people's favourite music. I always threw in a couple of extra songs with a similar feel and style if there was extra space. I was the only one that had the tech so I was like a queen in my school until mp3 players came around.
