Restored VINTAGE RARE AIWA WALKMAN CASSETTE RECORDER HS-J08, Works very well

Description: This listing is for a RARE AIWA WALKMAN CASSETTE PLAYER RECORDER HS-J08, brand new item, spent all the time in a collector's display cabinet, it was never turned on even once since it left the factory. The black plastic case which you see in the photos protected the walkman inside from scratches and bumps all this time so it looks like a brand new walkman inside when you take it out of the case and it had not even a speck of dust inside the cassette compartment when I opened it and the complex design with shining metal parts is amazing, it is an experience that I liked, where else would you get a toy like this brand new to play with? I liked the experience. It would have been even better if it had the original box with the brand new remote control inside, but all that is left is the walkman with its black protective case. This walkman needed very little restoration work. Item was tested, everything works including playback and recording from the radio works too, but I don't guarantee the recording functionality and recording quality on any walkmen that I sell as I don't restore such a function as few buyers will use it for recording. This walkman has a standard jack so many different brands of headphones can be plugged into it. This walkman uses two standard AA size batteries for power. PLEASE NOTE: This item has been restored, so it is guaranteed to work properly. Type of restoration done: Rubber drive drive belt was replaced, after the replacements the speed was adjusted properly with Sony Professional test tape at 3000Hz. Other steps as needed to restore an item are frequently done too but I don't describe those in each listing. ABOUT THE RESTORATION: Why is it important for the item to be restored? If you are buying vintage electronics that were NOT restored (no matter if used or brand new sitting in the box) and the sellers state were tested and work, you should know that they don't work as good as the day they left the factory without the need of any restoration work done. You should know that it is extremely rare( 1 in 10 or 20 chance) to see a vintage item working PERFECT after sitting for some 20+ years without the need of any restoration work done. This is because rubber gets old, plastics shrink and crack, electronic components that have liquid in them won't give the same performance as freshly made ones, etc. That is why it is important to buy an item that has been checked and restored. Repair places don't do restorations but just fault finding. They just find what electronic component is causing a device to malfunction and replace that component only. This is because it takes a lot of time to restore an item and unless you ask and are ready to pay, they won't do it. Please note: This item can only be shipped to the buyer's residential address. It can't be shipped to third parties addresses such as businesses, mail forwarding companies, mail boxes of any sort except post office boxes might be possible depending on the country, send me a message if you have any questions.
