Notice that some WM1s for sale Play but ALL have no FF or REWIND? This one does FF and REWIND and Play, For the collector who Needs a complete collection of Working Walkman. May be the only one in Existence that works 100% for sale in 5 years. I just purchased one last month that was supposed to work only to be   disappointed yet again with another (the fifth or sixth one) that did not work in FF and REW that I will return..

 This WM1 really works, not sort-of-works or is untested. Working Excellent, FF and REWIND work flawlessly with no SLOW DOWN and no problems hooking-up. Plays with batteries or Auxiliary Power Source. Plays loud and clear with no static from volume control or headphone jacks no distortion at high volumes with included original  MDR-1 headphones. 

 The part that breaks in these models that causes FF/ REWIND to fail is factory intact in this Walkman and beefed-up to go the distance. Don’t fall for (it probably needs a new belt or it is untested) they are all Broken or Half- Broken. If a WM 1 plays but has no FF and REWIND this part is Absolutely BROKEN, If a WM1 will FF OR Rewind it is Absolutely Half- Broken and Weak, just a matter of time before it fails Completely. The unit only has one belt that powers all functions so if it will Play it should FF and REWIND also.

 Included Fully functioning serial numbers matching (#271830 on player and box) WM1, Boxed with Original Packaging, Original MDR-1 Headphones with New orange ear sponges, Original shoulder strap with Users Manual, Warranty, Accessory information and Demonstration Tape, with new belt, Head Demagnetized and Cleaned also all Pinch Rollers and Capstan Cleaned. Super Clean Battery Compartment. Similar to Some Sony Walkmans manufactured in this ERA like the TPS L2, WM3, some WM2s the WM1 also has no Auto stop using FF and REW.
