SONY TC153SD VINTAGE CASSETTE PLAYER/RECORDER,TC-153SD.. Lovely machine thats in superb condition. Cant test it as I dont have the power cable for it. Tried to test with batteries but it didnt work but not sure if thats down to the usual issues of old battery connections wearing out. Priced low so if it is working then you have a bargain and if not it can be repaired or used for spares. Will be sent well packaged to ensure it reaches you safely.

Vintage Sony TC-153SD Stereo Cassette Deck Recorder w/Strap UNTESTED. So, my dad just brought this to me as hes cleaning the house I grew up in. I BELIEVE that my brother or I bought this at a tag sale in the mid 1990s and gave it to my dad as he was always recording us (his kids) at concerts, etc. Not video, just audio. We figured this was an upgrade from the tiny Radio Shack recorder he used. I BELIEVE it worked fully when we gave it to him. I removed four rusty/corroded dry cell D batteries from it. One of the springs appears to have rusted off. However, you can power this device with either a wall cord (not included) or a 6 volt AC Adapter (also not included). I have NOT tested this. However, I might try to hunt down an AC Adapter to try it in the next few days. I will update the listing if I discover anything. As far as condition: I have not cleaned it. Everything is there as it should be and everything (switches, eject, etc) appear to work as they should. No missing dials, etc. The strap is there, too, as pictured. The one visible issue is that the aluminum strip that is on the top front has come unglued and is peeling up. It could easily be glued down, but its slightly bent in places, so it would never look perfect. Rather than list ton of details, Ill defer to vintage audio sites that can tell you more about this device (from the late 1970s). Check out here: https://www.cassettedeck.org/sony/tc-153sd And... https://www.petervis.com/Cassette_Tape_Recorders/Sony_TC-153SD/Sony_TC-153SD.html I have enough vintage electronics to play with, so this one is up for sale. Hopefully someone can use it or fix it or can use parts of it for another... Just would hate to see it pitched into the electronics bin at the transfer station. Arent cassettes having a renaissance moment anyway? :)

SONY TC153SD VINTAGE CASSETTE PLAYER/RECORDER,TC-153SD.. when I bought this it was apparently working but missing the 240volt input socket.see pictures. I just didn’t get around to splicing in a kettle type socket.so I could use a domestic plug and lead. Although I have seen a 6volt socket linked from the battery terminals so it can be powered from an external transformer.! On other machines. Needs a clean too. So selling for restoration or spare parts? Battery terminals are clean. What you see is what you get,no returns. This recorder has a mic attenuation switch,up to 30db. For very loud concerts.! The BBC used these for field recording and are of a Hi-Fi quality. Getting rare now. Have a look at the Peter Vis site for service manual.

This works but has no sound...unknown why.Hopefully someone can repair it or can be used for spares and repairs for another unit.

SONY TC-153SD Portable Stereo Cassette Recorder Desk. Not had much use in recent years but tested and appears to work.It has been stored in its box for last 10 years or so. Probably benefit form a clean up.When in use it was did not travel. It was part of a home some systemOn 13-May-23 at 12:15:44 BST, seller added the following information: Just noticed a couple of typos! Deck (not desk) “Used as part of home audio system” Externally, the machine is in good condition. I have only tested it in a limited way. I cannot guarantee that it is working perfectly. It has not been serviced so ageing of the drive system is to be expected
