Hello Smile

Here is my latest walkman, it is the
lovely sonyM80 microcassette walkman Cool
Mike_M80 was so nice to put in on ebay Smile

it is a great little walkman, but more huge as
one would think!, the sound is really good
via the internal rear loudspeaker, and via
the headphones the sound is rather perfect!
Also via tape, this walkman can tape the microcassettes
really good.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy Smile

The headphones inside are MDR-1.

I've never seen a Sony microcassette recorder labelled as a Walkman.

The tapes you use are of the metal type-now that's something.

Very nice Walkgirl!it's surprising to see them in different colors,Renzgi.There obviously were not a whole lot of these produced as micro-cassette never really caught on.I've always wondered how the sound of micro-cassettes compare to that of a regular cassette with a similar tape formulation.Through headphones were these players on par with a standard cassettes fidelity played back on a standard format walkman?If so,perhaps the 60 minute run time was the only major drawback for this smaller type of tape and drive.

Thank you Jovie Smile

The sound is not bad at all!, it does hiss a
bit but the sound is really okay Cool

Those are fantastic and nice looking Koss headphones you've got.
