GENERAL INFO
A fun and unique model from my collection- the Sony Walkman WM-EX631! released
in 2002, it was one of the final & most popular models in Sony's elite
'WM-EX' series, and is notable for its unusual speed control feature. 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. A remote controller is not required to use this model.
Features:
- Auto reverse
Plays both sides of the tape automatically (Press Play during playback to change sides)
- Automatic track skipping (16x speed, 9 tracks)
Will automatically search for and play the next/previous song on a tape (FF/REW during playback)
- Repeat
Repeats the current song indefinitely (Hold down Play during playback)
- Speed control
Adjust the speed of the playback by +/- 20%!
- Cue/Review
Plays a live feed of the tape as it's rewinding (Hold FF/REW during playback)
- Hold
Disables all button inputs when this is triggered
If there are any issues with this Walkman within the first month, I'll fix it for free. Don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions. Thanks!
