Complete Collection of 3 Sony Walkman WM-F101’s in Black, Red and Silver. Though this was a really lovely little collection someone might want. Silver one working perfectly, black one plays perfectly in 1 direction but not in the other – still useable. Red one radio works but that’s about it. And only 1 of the battery packs is supplying power – but I’m pretty sure one of the other ones is easily fixable for someone with the necessary skills. Unlike everyone else out there I price my Walkman’s fairly – I just need to get my slice of the pie – this is priced to sell quickly and cheaper that the other Refurbished WM-10’s, 20’s and 30’s on. As with all my refurbished Walkmans you don’t have to take my work for how good they sound because I provide you with a video so you can hear for yourself. I’m not a professional sound engineer – I feed the output from the walkman into the mic input on my Canon DSLR. These are complex analogue machines in a digital world – the old belt residue must be completely and meticulously removed – otherwise the new belt will wobble causing wow and flutter. See the photos for physical condition. First the Silver one – it has been Serviced (new belt, head, rollers and capstans cleaned, volume potentiometer cleaned) and plays beautifully in both directions, Rewinds, Fast Forwards and the radio works perfectly – all gears are intact – it is a daily useable Walkman. The Black one has also been serviced with a new belt, radio works and it plays, rewinds and ffwds perfectly – BUT it will only play in one direction – when you change direction, it just switches straight back. All gears intact – also a daily useable Walkman. Red one not so good – powers on and radio works, I did try a belt and it played but only very sluggishly – no belt in it now and 2 main gears are cracked – swapped out to ensure the other 2 were perfect. Of the 3 battery packs, only 1 is working properly, clips are gone on one of the others and seems to be a little corrosion on the third – easy fix for someone. I have 10 years experience refurbishing 100’s of Walkmans! You get what you pay for – there won’t be any disappointment when it arrives – it will work as described! If it IS as described and you change your mind – relist it yourself and feel free to reuse my Listing, Pictures and Video Link – you’ll probably make a profit! I’m not an audio engineer which is why I include a video so you can hear it play and judge for yourself. I do not extensively test these over periods of hours/days – I don’t have the time. My only guarantee is that it should work as you see in the video when it arrives. All items will be bubble wrapped and dispatched in a rigid cardboard box to ensure that they reach you without any damage in transit. See my other auctions for loads more cool Sony Walkmans.
