SONY Walkman Portable Cassette Player WM-FX70. 

Radio works.

SONY released a few players that made history for being one of the most advanced players at the time, thanks to the combination of a very small size, advanced electronics and feather touch buttons, high quality sound thanks to the EX Permalloy head.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Equipped with auto memory scan function, you can automatically preset the local broadcasting stations in various parts of the world at the touch of a button. 

• The sound fluctuation caused by the dynamic characteristics of vibrations (while walking or subjected to movement) has been noticeably reduced via a more precise and rigid tape transport.

• Equipped with an A-side / B side display function, you won’t have to guess which side you are playing and avoid distractions while trying to ascertain what song belong to a specific side. 

• The unit sports an EX quality head. To keep the angle of the head and the tape at a constant level this model has adopted the EX mechanism with a special tape guide. 

• An EX-DBB circuit is also present - able to emphasize the bass frequency of 50Hz up to 16 times. 

Automatically adjusts the amount of emphasis depending on the level of volume knob at an y specific time. In addition it prevents the delicate tremble response to be lost by varying the amount of linear amplification depending on the volume changes of the original sound. 

• Full frontal LCD provides detailed information on radio and tape playback functions.
