Made entirely of mirror-finish chrome & golden metal and with its own wooden crate, this is an extreme luxury model and a must-have for any serious collector/enthusiast. Not only does it appeal visually, however, but the internal mechanism has been upgraded to give a truly audiophile-grade listening experience. It features a fully logic controlled mechanism, an ultra-slim design, a top-quality amorphous head, a special powerful headphone amplifier, and has been fitted with special upgraded brass flywheels.. The mechanism has been fully serviced, upgraded, calibrated, demagnetized and rebuilt by myself, and fitted with a new DeckTech belt. The cassette in the photos is not included. Features:- Auto reverse Plays both sides of the tape automatically. (PLAY during playback to change sides) - Automatic track skipping (25x speed, 9 tracks) Will automatically search for and play the next/previous song on a tape (FF/REW during playback, press again to cue)- Repeat Repeats the current song indefinitely (Hold PLAY during playback) - Dolby B Noise Reduction Reduces background hiss on Dolby encoded tapes - Blank skip Will automatically skip any blank sections at the end of a tape- A/B Side Detection Automatically detects the orientation of the cassette so that the correct side is always played- Special headphone amp Capable of 25% more output power than normal models of Walkman. - EX-DBB Enhances Bass (Press SOUND on the controller) - AVLS Lowers volume automatically to protect hearing (Hold SOUND on the remote controller) Please note that this device is now 28 years old. Although it works correctly now, I cant offer any warranty or guarantee that itll keep working forever. Dont hesitate to message me if you have any questions. Thanks!
