Description
Has been inspected, cleaned, and restored completely.Full working order and is in excellent condition.Look at the restoration digest in the second photo.Then you will know at one sight why this Walkman plays super sound.
From the original Walkman launched in 1979 to early models up to around 85 and professional models, the overhaul focuses on models that are difficult to maintain. Now, nearly 40 years later, it is impossible to reproduce the sound of those days without not only the stock of rubber parts such as belts and rollers, electronic parts such as capacitors, heads and plastic gears, but also the technology for cleaning and resurrection, motion reproduction and sound adjustment. I want to listen to the cassettes of those days in the best sound like those days. I want to use it for a long time to come. We list items that can fulfill these requests without limit and allow you to fully appreciate the potential of the model. For those who are looking for a special maintenance adjustment that goes up a notch based on detailed movement and sound testing.
It's been 42 years since it was released, and it's a very good sounding Walkman Deluxe WM -3. This is a special maintenance and adjustment product designed for superior sound quality and durability. (See below) High-quality, fully working product. All parts have been overhauled and can be used as is. It's completely original without a commercial paint top! Lightweight headphones and cassette tapes are included.
This is a great machine we want to take to the future. The WM -3 Walkman was released by Sony in the early 80's.
This is an evolution of the explosive hit original model, the TPS-L2, which supports metal tape. The headphone output is also increased to 20 mw + 20 mw compared to the 15 mw + 15 mw of the TPS-L2. I think the exterior of the body is quite beautiful as a thing at that time. Based on the well-preserved individual, all aged defective parts were replaced with good ones stored in a moisture-proof compartment, and special adjustments were made to each part. This is a high quality product that has undergone maintenance, performance checks and repeated testing. The boards, electronic parts, playheads, motors, drive gears, drive belts, rollers and amplifiers are in good condition so you can enjoy the analog hi-fi machines of the time. The torque meter confirms strong and stable rotational force. For those who value sound, mechanical condition and power. The microphone is still working when using the hotline.

The driving belts we use are of the highest quality and high durability, so we don't see any hardening after a few months of use, which is common with inferior imported belts. It takes a lot of time and effort to adjust to each individual's condition, so the sound is beautifully reproduced from the original cassette sound source. You can enjoy bass, midtone, treble and a pleasant stereo feel. High performance, high sound quality is reproduced, but we look forward to receiving bids from those who are familiar with used products.
