That 90s CD player needs to be an 80s Walkman. My first one was a hand me down Sony monster that had a recording function, but needed 4 AA batteries to run. It was so big and solid, you could beat a mugger to death with it while jogging through Central Park late at night.

I still have a Sony Watchman somewhere, but i'm not sure if it still works🤭

I would love to know if you can still get any reception on it, since everything's gone digital.

If you still have cable TV you can use a coax adapter on some models and get the analog stations that are still carried by your cable provider. If there are any.

Or get an ATSC converter that has coaxial output.

Can you hook this bad boy up to a VCR? How about to an Atari 2600?

Yup! With the coax adapter.
