Description: Sound test is in the image galleryIncludes: Walkman. Batteries are not included! GENERAL INFO A stylish model from my collection- the Sony Walkman WM-EX600 cassette player, released in 1999, is one of the most famous models in Sony's elite 'WM-EX' series (along with its identical twin, the WM-EX677). This model is a part of the 20th anniversary Walkman lineup, which is well known for the high quality of models featured in it. Not only does this model look very retro-cool, it also features excellent sound quality in a very slim package. Featuring a fully logic controlled mechanism with auto-reverse, automatic track skip and blank-skip based on Sony's best chassis, this premium Walkman is a very cool (and practical) option for those looking for a high-quality, offline, portable music player without the distraction of a smartphone. The mechanism has been fully serviced, calibrated, demagnetised and rebuilt by myself, and fitted with a new DeckTech belt. The cassette in the photos is not included.
