The secret history of the walkman revealed: Paul Johnson of Jacksonville, Fla invented this one-tube radio (powered by two dry cells) in 1957, to keep him entertained while he did yard-work. In terms of design aesthetics, I'm willing to say that this is the coolest, mad-scientist-looking-est headset ever to grace the head of a human.If I would have known this I could have been delivering papers on my Schwinn Corvette while listening to Little Richard instead of trying to tune in KOMA in Oklahoma City (1520 on your dial) on my trusty Philco at bedtime.
