Very rare and extremely collectable – here’s a Sony Walkman WM-W800 – the “Double Walkman” – basically 2 WM-10’s screwed together with Recording functionality added to one. This is a Japanese model that includes the circuitry to accept the CTP-1A Tuner Pack – not included. This was a right ball-ache to fix, had to pretty much dismantle it completely to install replacement pinch rollers, unfortunately the models I sourced the replacement roller from have different auto-stop mechanisms meaning that auto-stop doesn’t work on either deck – so just remember to hit stop yourself when you reach the end of the tape. Both decks now playing, rewinding and ffwrding pretty much perfectly. 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. In absolutely beautiful used condition. Mechanically the belts had perished and both pinch rollers has seized – new belts and replacement pinch rollers have been installed – the heads, rollers and capstans have been cleaned – so it now plays perfectly, in stereo, at the right speed. Both decks rewind and ffwd and the recording capability works. The volume potentiometer has been cleaned so the volume adjusts smoothly without crackle or dropout. One of the battery terminal springs has broken so I’ve included a little spring. There is a little dropout on one channel from Deck B which resolves when you wiggle the headphone socket. This Walkman is useable on a daily basis – sounds as good as the day it was new and should not give you any trouble for years to come. 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.
