Steampunk Walkman from David Stafford

I just posted the video of me opening this amazing object for the first time, but what you can't see in the quick movie is the detail in the packaging and the little oddities and silliness I found the more time I spent digging. (The steampunk part is the leather arm strap...) And then there is the awesome playlist. To see the actual device, check out the video on the right side of the IUOMA homepage. David, you are reaching the highest levels of enchant-i-tude. I love it and I'll gladly share it with the world here, but the Smithsonian will have to wait. Thank you.
