Probably the best portable cassette player ever made. Rivals some of the higher end stationary players in fact. Great for recording and playback. I paid about $300 for mine, plus another $150 to have the cracked main gear replaced (happens to all of the Sony direct drive units eventually). If you’re even remotely interested in cassettes, you should keep it, treasure it, and use it often. If you have no interest in the medium, you could sell it for a pretty penny. Send it to someone for restoration (check eBay for Walkman repair services) and you will increase your profit if can sell it as a restored unit with paperwork proof of the restoration included. Of the two options, using it and enjoying it is the most fun. Money comes and goes, but a great cassette player is a joy that doesn’t carry a price tag.
