Product Description & Further Details

This Sony Walkman is in excellent working condition with only a few marks on the outer casing, typical for its age. Overall, it looks great and functions perfectly, delivering fantastic sound quality with very minimal wow and flutter (explained in detail below).

Please note: Everything shown in the pictures is included with the unit, and I?ve described the item to the best of my ability.

Wow and Flutter Information:

"Wow and flutter" refers to variations in playback speed, typically caused by age or wear. This unit has very little wow and flutter, as all potential causes (dirty or dry moving parts, worn belts, dirty capstan, pinch rollers, etc.) have been thoroughly inspected and addressed during refurbishment.

It's important to note that every tape player experiences some degree of wow and flutter, as no unit is completely immune. The amount can vary based on tape condition and cassette quality. For best results, I recommend performing a full rewind and fast-forward on older tapes before playing them.
