GENERAL INFO
A very famous model from my collection- the Sony Walkman WM-EX900 cassette player, released in 1999, is
considered to be one of the best all-round flagship model of Sony's elite
'WM-EX' series, and this one comes in a beautiful champagne silver colour. Not only does it look futuristic, but it features an excellent sound quality in a highly advanced and very compact form-factor. This incredible machine is able to sound every bit as good as a
full-sized cassette deck whilst being perfectly suited for use
on-the-go, and comes equipped with a wide array of
accessories including an LCD remote controller
and AA battery pack. The mechanism has been fully serviced,
calibrated, aligned, demagnetized and rebuilt by myself, and fitted with a new
DeckTech belt.
