    Description

    This listing is for a Vintage SONY WALKMAN WM-F1: FM Stereo Radio /Cassette Player originally released in 1983.
    Throughout it's ownership, the item has been kept safely in a smoke-free / pet-free environment.
    Boy, does this bring back memories! Very nostalgic item that was in practically every household in the late 80's!
    Overall the Walkman is in great, but used condition. There are some light scratches throughout, but nothing too obnoxious. It comes with its original blue lanyard as well as it's belt clip. Sadly the battery terminal cover has gotten lost to time.. With 3D printing readily available these days, you can fabricate a replacement rather easily. The plans are online!
    The battery compartment itself shows very little (if any) corrosion. Nice and clean! Luckily it was stored without batteries in it for all these years. After adding some AA batteries, I was able to get the power light to come on and test the FM tuner successfully!!
    I no longer have any cassette tapes in the house, so was not able to test the tape deck. Attempting to play without a tape would play snow through the headphones, but no movement on the gears that advance the tape. It may not work, but with a little time and the right buyer, I'm sure it will live again! (Sold As-Is).
    Happy bidding!
    Have a great day!!
