Works, but the cassette door sticks and jams. The audio meter lights don’t light up.

This is a rare. Vintage portable Sony Cassette Recorder model # WM-R2. This model was released back in 1982. The most unique and most sought after walkman of its time. That was 41 years ago believe it or not!!! This one needs repair unfortunately!! I tested it briefly, and here are the results: The unit powers on, when I hit Play, I can hear motor turning inside but reels do not turn. Same goes with FAST FORWARD or REWIND. I think it may need a belt replacement considering its age. I tested the headset jack with a pair of headphones and I was able to listen to my voice from the built in mic. That’s as far as I’ve tested it!! You can use it for parts or repair it if you know how to. As stated above, the SONY walkman is 41 years old. That said, expect scratches, bumps and other flaws I may have overlooked. You will receive exactly what you see in the attached photos, the Sony walkman and carrying case, nothing more, nothing less. We want a positive experience for everyone on this site. Thanks for your cooperation & for visiting our page!!
