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 has signs of wear from use, scratches, and a few dents. Plastic window has wear as well. Battery light is not working. So it is far from mint. The player was cleaned, refurbished, tested, and sounds great. The rest 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 evidence of past leaks. Playback head and pinch roller are fine. 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. Please keep in mind that, while fully functional, the unit is almost 40 years old, and very delicate. Please handle with care in order to (hopefully) enjoy it for many years to come. You receive the Walkman only. The cassette is present in photos for size comparison purpose only, and is NOT included. Any return claims must be done within 2 days of receiving the unit.
