2 years ago (to the day) i walked into a Cambridge pawn shop and for 
11 bucks bought a mini Sharp FM walkman. This one was strange; it had
TWO coin-slot type tuning knobs on the back side, and an A/B switch 
on the side. You would preselect two stations and then switch back and 
forth with the A/B. It was small; about 3 x 1.5 x .5 (inches). And it 
had the best sound and separation of any other walkman i had tried. For 
about 1 year it served me well, until it managed to fall out of my 
pocket while running across the street and get run over by a truck. Does 
anybody else out there remember these? I cannot seem to find another one.
