Product code: Shops Panasonic cassette Walkman rx-s40
Have to apologize this is a none working at all model, after year and half I've given up on it , since never had chance to grab another one with reasonable price as backup to make any one working again. This is a rare model (I believe it's only open for Japan market, some still up for sale on eBay for sky high price) It doesn't have any fancy functions, only have one way cassette play and fm radio, but due to corrosion on the flex pcb strips, nothing powered up (although motor still works with external power supply) It's the one of two if not three only DD versions that ever made by any company, DD means direct drive(sony made disk drive , such as wm-dd9) , the motor shaft is the capstan, no rubber needed!! It has full plastic outside , pretty much beat up badly , but inside mechanical condition is good , and not just metal, it's all stainless metal , so it's quite heavy, and it's slid open shops design as well to keep it small . Anyway , this is only sold for parts or display .
