Manufactured ca 1983, this Walkman is almost exact size of an audio cassette case, uses a single AA battery, and is a true marvel of Sonys engineering of that period. And it sounds quite as good as it looks. Also known as the Super Walkman, this amazing device created quite a stir when it was released. This particular unit is in bit below average cosmetic condition considering its age, it has a few tiny dents here and there, and scratches from use. Backside is noticeably scratched, but not terrible. Inside the player is very clean. The unit was cleaned, refurbished, tested, and sounds great. All of the functions work fine: play, fast forward, rewind. Auto stop is working in play mode as it should. The switches and corresponding modes for tape type (Normal and CrO2/Metal), and Dolby B noise reduction work fine. Battery compartment is clean. No missing parts, screws, or cracked reel gears (a common problem with these units). The following was done to this Walkman to ensure its performance. Cleaned thoroughly inside and outside. Transport contacts cleaned with Deoxit. The speed was checked using 3 kHz test tape, and is within spec. Capstan and pinch roller cleaned, playback head cleaned and demagnetized. Please check the photos to see the unit condition, and feel free to ask questions. This model will NOT work unless the headphones are plugged in. This is a power saving feature, not a bug. Most headphones with a standard 3.5mm plug will work. You receive the Walkman only. The cassette is present for size comparison purpose only, and is NOT included. Any return claims must be done within 2 days of receiving the unit. The item “Vintage Sony WM-10 Walkman, Refurbished And Fully Functional” is in sale since Monday, November 23, 2020.
