Sony - TCS-350 Walkman

The Sony TCS-350 Walkman is a vintage stereo cassette player/recorder, an iconic electronic device from the 80s, which allowed listening to and recording audio on cassettes wherever you were.

It is complete with all original Sony accessories.

The device is in excellent condition, perfectly functional and always protected. It shows some scratches and signs of wear consistent with its age. The device itself is intact, with no damage, breakage, or malfunctions. We have tested it and it works perfectly. The black leather case is complete, functional and compact, and the buttons close perfectly. However, it shows some wear and isn’t aesthetically very pleasing. Please examine the photos carefully. Otherwise, the inner lining is intact and perfectly 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 earphones of different brands with two spare soft ear tips (orange). Additionally, I include:
• a pair of new earphone sleeves (orange color)

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

• 1 cassette cleaning kit.

First of all, the buyer must clean the stereo with the tapes (maximum 10 uses) and thoroughly clean the stereo and its internal components, especially the mechanism, using the provided tape-head cleaning kit (never used to my knowledge). 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 rotated, cleans and improves sound quality and recording quality. I have never used this type of Walkman, but I am sure that cleaning and using this tape 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 the shipping deadlines and conditions rightly established by Catawiki. Therefore, I would like to specify that pickup costs, as well as any other applicable costs, will be entirely 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 further information or photos, I will be glad and available to provide them. Thank you.
