First up has a Buy It Now of US $500.00 with missing battery cover (see the Spares & Accessories page for info on where you can buy a reproduction battery cover), no bids so far with 2 days to go.
time*inc, eBay seller of aforementioned repro battery covers is also currently selling a dead PS-F5 for spares or repair with a buy it now of $224.99
And decobob’s PS-F5 with its (slightly tatty) original box is up again with a Buy It Now of $550.
This one’s been relisted due to a non-payer. Already up to $350+ and still not met its reserve.
Doesn’t seem to be working, but seems a reasonable price if you’ve got the skills and want to take the chance that you can get it going.

Crosley, a company which knocks out some fairly ugly, cheesy retro type nastiness have apparently created a revolution. The only thing is that their revolution is a copy of a reasonably well known 80s Japanese portable turntable: Audio Technica’s Soundburger. Look forward to some direct comparisons of build and sound quality once the product’s out.
Their homepage has an animation which was saying that it’s coming on the 7-10th of this January 2010, but they’ve removed the date and the product’s still not on their product page.
Jack contacted me to let me know about his Record ROM; an interesting design concept. The PS-F5 gets a quick nod during the ideation drawings.
A Canadian eBay seller currently has a reproduction battery cover for sale. Could be useful if yours is broken or lost.
Or try searching the seller’s for sale items for Sony.
An interesting short film from 2006 about Greek Audiophiles and their love for big, elaborate, expensive Hi-Fi.
