Sony - TCS-350 Walkman

The Sony TCS-350 Walkman is a vintage stereo cassette player/recorder, an iconic electronic device from the 1980s that allowed listening to and recording audio on cassettes wherever you were.

It comes with all original Sony accessories.

The device is in excellent condition, fully functional and always protected. It shows some scratches and signs of wear consistent with its age. The device itself is intact, with no damage, breaks or malfunctions. We have tested it and it works perfectly. The black leather case is complete, functional and compact, and the buttons close properly. However, it shows some signs of wear and is not aesthetically very appealing. Please examine the photos carefully. Otherwise, the inner lining is intact and fully functional. My grandfather had applied stickers to the outside of the protective case with his name, his profession (journalist) and other personal information. All components have been removed from the case and the marks are clearly visible, even in the photos above.

The Walkman is sold with its original Sony accessories, which include in addition to the Walkman:

• 2 Sony rechargeable batteries

• 1 Sony 6V AC-64NEM charger (400 mA)

• Sony cables for external connections

• 2 Sony earbuds of different brands with two replacement soft silicone ear tips (orange). Additionally, I include:
• pair of new earphone cushions (orange color)

• 2 audiocassettes, one new and one vintage, both never used and ready to use (90 minutes each).

• 1 cassette cleaning kit.

First of all, the buyer must clean the stereo system with the cassettes (maximum 10 uses) and thoroughly clean the system and its internal components, in particular the mechanism, using the provided head-cleaning kit (unknown to me if ever used). The magnetic heads of a cassette player/recorder, like your Sony Walkman, can accumulate dirt and rust over time, which can compromise sound quality. This type of cassette contains a special tape that, when spun, cleans and improves sound and recording quality. I have never used this type of Walkman, but I am sure that cleaning and using this cassette and its related system will not be difficult or time-consuming.

I prefer local pickup and not shipping because, for professional reasons, I am almost always traveling, often abroad, which makes it difficult to meet shipping deadlines and conditions rightly set by Catawiki. Therefore, I would like to specify that pickup costs, as well as any other applicable expenses, will be fully borne by the buyer. Within the EU: €25/€30, outside the EU but still in Europe: €45/€55, for international shipments: €85/€125. The price for any shipments will be agreed and confirmed between seller and buyer once the sale amount is confirmed and before the shipment itself.

Please look carefully at the photos and the entire description, and if you need any further information or additional photos, I will be happy and available to provide them. Thank you
