Yes a household name!

Indeed. And before Apple issued its first iphone I was equiped with Ericsson and after Sony Ericsson mobiles. My first one beginning 90s was Ericsson Curt. Always had to put it to load as batteries didn't last long, but it was better than carry the heavy bulky Motorola Cellular Bag ... After came Ericsson Olivia, + some others I don't remember their names...

only Sony Walkman long time ago..

very true

Indeed ICONIC it is stoker. :)

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER - STAY POSITIVE- TEST NEGATIVE

And cameras =)

World famous :-) I have a Sony camera HX60V

Is it a reel to reel deck?

Almost, it's an empty spool from a DASH digital multitrack, 24/48 tracks on 1/2" tape, dates back to the early 80s, it was pretty revolutionary at the time in that you could razor blade edit the multi-track masters, just like analogue; more here: www.muzines.co.uk/articles/digital-recording/4389

Very cool, will check that out. I do have a working reel-to-reel still: www.ipernity.com/gp/bro/14110/3041118a

An excellent macro, the textures are fabulous! I think I have an old Sony walkman lying around somewhere;-)

Definitely iconic.
