Well heres the situation, in late june I will be going to England to visit my grand perants, and we will aslo be staying a few days in london. But the problem is that I here london has alot of muggings. so I have thought of a plan. I am currently gutting an old early 90s walkman , to make a rather deturing case. soon when I'm done i'll up some pics of it.

If you pull through with this I'll post it on the Ipod News Page :)

Sounds like an interesting little project.

heh i think someone's winding you up, london's not bad- yes there's some pick-pockets in built up tourist areas, but no worse than any other country. just use common sense, don't walk around with it showing.

Shhhh souLLy! I wanna see how this might turn out. He might not make the cool ipod mod if you convince him London is a safe city. :p;)

If london isn't that bad, i'll still make any way, just because it looks so cool. no I either have to get a new tape player or find a trianglar screw driver. any ways it will be cool

London is no worse than any other major city.

Sounds like a cool idea, and will add some retro style to your ipod.

progress has been made, and I am soon to be completed. After a good 4 or so hours of gutting the thing (yeah 4 hours), and trimming the innerds to fit my ipod. the project is nearing competion. (only compatible with the 30g video). Also a word of advise for people who may also try the project, buy a scratch resistant coating (wallmart $8, Asda ?pounds), you wont want to destroy your pod in the process. now I also need some help, in the process of gutting, the hinges of the tape cover came disattach, any suggestions for new ones.6899
yeah it's a bad quality image, but that what you get with a $20 web cam.

You should line the inside of the walkman with something soft, that way it'll protect the pod if you drop it etc.

thats a pretty awesome project u got goin there. i would try to do it if i had a 90's walkman and 4 spare hours. as for the muggings in london.... ive never left the u.s, but im pretty sure no ones gonna mug u unless u go for a cheap motel or dark alley.
