	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.

Umm, A-77 I think was the domestic version. 3.5 ips / 7 ips
12" reels, large hub (adaptors)
Just a guess, but surely the plastic part of the disc would be the

That might provide another path for information.
That clarifies it.  I remember the 77 part... :-)
For commercial disks (factory made) yes.  As to the ones you burn
yourself, they look "different" as to the pit track depth etc.  Must be
the technology used in burning them.  I don't know.
I wonder if there are still differences in sound from one pressing
plant to another, even with a digitally sorced tape... Theoretically,
there shouldn't be...  Hmmm...

Shalom David!
  I speak American, some Canadian, English and Astralian...a tiny
bit of French, Spanish and German...no Hebrew or Yiddish.
Anyway, what's the music & audio scene like over there?  Anything made
domestically there, or is everything imported?
We do still make stuff here, mostly high-end audio, but imported has
overshadowed domestic audio for years for most people...I'm surrounded by
Japanese equipment (except my Fisher tape deck was built in China)...but my
Jensen speakers are American made (and sound great).
I always love to hear how things are in other areas of the world...especially
areas that are far away, and my modest means would mean that I could only
dream of leaving my country anyway (except for Canada - that's real easy to
visit).
