This is Sony’s first Walkman portable cassette player. Originally purchased in 1979 by a very good friend of mine, I inherited this slightly bruised device close to twenty years ago.

@john Even though some dents are evident, these things were built like brick outhouses. I can’t even begin to estimate how many hundreds of hours worth of tape my friend ran through this deck. Although the headphones disintegrated years ago, I still have the blue leather wrap-around case as well.
@crbassett Glad you like it.

Too bad about the headphones. They were half the reason these things were so great. I never owned a Sony though. Just the bigger, heavier knock-offs.
