This Teac deck (serial number 7178 92) isn’t going to win any beauty contests. There are a few scratches on the cabinet and one of the rack mounts in bent (see pictures). Also, the power button is loose and sloppy. The belt(s) appear to be totally shot as we’re not getting any transport action. However, testing the deck with an external source through the line-in input, we can confirm that the meters work and the sound is good through the headphone jack. Since we cannot test with a cassette, it is possible that other issues exist in addition to the belts needing to be replaced. The bottom line is this… You’ll receive your item on time and in perfect condition regardless of how big, heavy, or delicate your item may be!

That includes manuals, packaging, power cords, etc. ABOUT US: Our company, Ham & HiFi, is located in Sparks, NV.

This is a vintage Sony Walkman WM-F65 Radio/Cassette- Player + Recorder in working condition. It has been thoroughly repaired. The cassette and the radio work! New belt/Cleaned up internally & externally. Lubed where only lube should go (internally). Clean volume (Potentiometer) no cutouts or scratching. This one is good. It just sounds good. I’ve been repairing electronics since I was a young. Also I’m an 80s tech enthusiast and repair cassette decks/turntables, etc. This unit did require some TLC but as you can see it is fairly good. Condition considering its age. Best of the units I have. Given the age, expect some typical scuffs on. The unit- it’s not brand new. What you see pictured is what you will receive. Given this Walkman records and it doesn’t have any built in mics, I required the proper Sony add on mic to complete the picture. During testing you hear the recording through the headphones- very clear. In my basic testing it recorded my voice perfectly fine without any unusual background. It records in stereo. My understanding is you need to use this mic in order to record with the unit. Other mics most likely will not work (Sony only). Update- I’ve been asked if the uptake & supply spool gear have any cracks. There are no unusual noises when this unit plays. You will receive a working unit when you receive it. If for some reason something happens in transport, please contact me to remedy the situation. All sales are final. I will address any questions you may have upon receipt of the unit. As I’ve mentioned (more than once), this unit. Does work and has been inspected/repaired to bring it back to working. It is a vintage Walkman and. With that it should be treasured and not abused. This is 80s Tech. Please contact me if you have any questions. In the coming days, I will be posting. WM-F15s and possibly a Toshiba KT-R2 and a KT-S1. These are in good condition but this one is the best.
