This listing is for a VINTAGE SONY WALKMAN CASSETTE PLAYER WM-A602/B602. This is a difficult model to restore so I don't think you will find another one selling as working, this is probably the only one. I wanted to hear how this model sounds, so I restored only playback and in one direction it is perfect to my ears, in the other it is satisfactory. I didn't restore the megabass so in high position it is not working properly but in medium position seems ok, also the motor is kind of loud when working but I have no other of this model to compare if they are all like that or this one needs some repairs.
This walkman uses one standard AA size battery for power.
This is an used item, so it will have marks and scratches on it that might not be visible in the photos.
PLEASE NOTE:
The old rubber drive belts were replaced, after the replacement the speed was adjusted properly with Sony Professional test tape at 3000Hz.
ABOUT THE RESTORATION: Why is it important for the item to be restored? If you are buying vintage electronics that were NOT restored (no matter if used or brand new sitting in the box) and the sellers state were tested and work, you should know that they don't work as good as the day they left the factory without the need of any restoration work done. You should know that it is extremely rare( 1 in 10 or 20 chance) to see a vintage item working PERFECT after sitting for some 20+ years without the need of any restoration work done. This is because rubber gets old, plastics shrink and crack, electronic components that have liquid in them won't give the same performance as freshly made ones, etc. That is why it is important to buy an item that has been checked and restored. Repair places don't do restorations but just fault finding. They just find what electronic component is causing a device to malfunction and replace that component only. This is because it takes a lot of time to restore an item and unless you ask and are ready to pay, they won't do it.
