Sony - TCS-350 Walkman

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

It comes complete with all original Sony accessories.

The device is in excellent condition, fully functional and always protected. It has a few 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 pleasing. Please study the photos carefully.

Otherwise, the inner lining is intact and fully functional. My grandfather had affixed 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 charger 6V AC-64NEM (400 mA)

• Sony cables for external connections

• 2 Sony earphones of different makes with two spare soft ear tips (orange). Additionally, I include:
• pair of new earphone covers (orange color)

• 2 audiocassettes, a new one and a vintage one, 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 unit and its internal components, in particular the mechanism, using the provided head-cleaning kit (never used to my knowledge). 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 rotated, 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 the 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 reasonably set by Catawiki. Therefore, I would like to specify that pickup costs, as well as any other applicable expenses, will be borne entirely 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 whole description, and if further information or photographs are needed, I will be happy and available to provide them. Thank you.
