This listing is for a VINTAGE SONY WALKMAN CASSETTE PLAYER WM-EX194, looks brand new, hardly used at all, cosmetic flaws are two scratches on the front with one of the scratches over the sony logo, no other scratches as far as I remember. Sound quality is also very good from this player. This walkman has been restored, so it is guaranteed to work properly. This walkman uses two AA size batteries for power. This is an used item and will have marks and scratches that might not all be visible in the photos. PLEASE NOTE: This item has been restored, so it is guaranteed to work properly. Type of restoration done: The old rubber drive belts were replaced, after the replacement the speed was adjusted properly with Sony Professional test tape at around 3000Hz. Other steps are often done to restore each walkman but I don't describe those. 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. Listing #B39
