Sony - TCS-350 Walkman

The Sony TCS-350 Walkman is a vintage stereo cassette player/recorder, an iconic 1980s electronic device 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, 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, breaks, 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 signs of wear and is not aesthetically very pleasing. 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 were 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 spare soft silicone ear tips (orange). Additionally, I include:
• pair of new earbud covers (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 unit and its internal components, particularly the mechanism, using the head-cleaning kit provided (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 wound, cleans and improves sound 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, not shipping, because, for professional reasons, I am almost always traveling, often abroad, which makes it hard to meet shipping deadlines and conditions properly set by Catawiki. Therefore, I would like to specify that pickup costs, as well as any other applicable charges, will be entirely the responsibility of the buyer. Within the EU: €25/€30, outside the EU but still in Europe: €45/€55, for international shipping: €85/€125. The price for any shipping will be agreed and confirmed between seller and buyer once the sale amount is confirmed and before the shipment itself.

Please take a good look at the photos and the full description, and if you need any further information or photos, I will be happy and available to provide them. Thank you
