Description

Its basic mechanism is shared with other Walkman models (like the WM-EX652) but was presented quite differently, the cassette door opened along its “short” side and the cassette was posted in lengthways, much as it is in a car player.
The cassette lid featured a see-through window with a mirror finish, the cassette was only just visible inside. Only a few controls were on the machine itself, the largest of which being the door catch at the top centre. Beside this were switches for Dolby B NR and blank skip, along with a volume control and a battery indicator.
On the rear behind a slide-down door the 4 tape transport buttons, which could operate the deck’s basic functions. The edges of the model were finished in soft grey rubber and a special silver carrying bag was provided to protect the finish.
