Sony Walkman WM-6D Rare Vintage Portable Cassette Player & Recorder - Serviced!

One of the greatest recording Walkmans of all time! The Sony WM-6D was released in 1982 and stayed in production until 1984 when it was replaced by the more common WM-6DC. 

The WM-6D is somewhat like a miniature version of the popular Sony TC-D5, and although the WM-D6 was not the first Walkman model that could record, it was the first that could do so to such high standards that it was suitable for professional use.

To raise the quality of this walkman, Sony fitted it with a disc drive capstan servo similar to that of the TC-D5, but, the designers took the disc drive concept one stage further and made it quartz controlled. At a stroke, this removed any possibility of drift or error, and gave the WM-D6 perfect speed accuracy under all conditions. 

Other features carried over form the TC-D5 included the ferrite heads and the DC-DC converter, which enabled the electronics to operate at a higher voltage than the batteries would normally provide, improving the sound quality. 

An input was provided for a microphone, though using the switchable attenuator this could also accept signals from an amplifier or second recorder and two pairs of headphones can be connected at the same time! A three position tape selector switch allows for normal, chrome and metal tapes to be used for both recording and playback.

The WM-D6 was expensive at the time, but was also capable of outstanding performance, better than many full-sized cassette decks. It was quickly adopted by radio stations and news organisations as the ideal machine for reporters to use. It also became a favourite for making high quality but discreet “bootleg” recordings at concerts!

The serial number can be found in the battery compartment, it is 16089. 

This Walkman is perfect for a bit of nostalgia, listening to old tape you made with your friends, revisiting your old collection of your favourite artists cassettes, making recordings or as an awesome functional 80's prop for film and TV.

Great quality and easy to assemble!
Color: Blues, Size: 56 LB, Color: Blues, Size: 56 LB
I’m really happy with this dumbbell set. The stand was very easy to assemble and feels sturdy once put together. The neoprene coating on the weights is comfortable to grip and doesn’t slip, even when your hands get a little sweaty. I also love the colors—they make the set look nice in my workout space. Perfect for home workouts, compact, and easy to move around. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a practical and stylish weight set!

Happy customer
Color: Black, Size: 32 LB, Color: Black, Size: 32 LB
I recently purchased a set of black dumbbell weights, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! These dumbbells are solid and built to last. The weight material feels durable, and I can tell they're gonna last. These weights are perfect for all my exercises. They come in a range of sizes, allowing me to easily adjust the weight for different muscle groups. I love the sleek black finish! It not only looks stylish in my home gym but also adds a touch of professionalism to my space. The price point is excellent considering the quality and durability of these dumbbells. I've seen similar products at a much higher price, but these offer the same benefits without breaking the bank. Their design makes them easy to grip, and the smooth texture ensures I can maintain my hold even during the sweatiest workouts. Plus, they're compact and easy to store, making them perfect for home use. Overall, these dumbbell weights check all the boxes. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey!

Great Set
Color: Multicolor, Size: 146 LB
This is a great set of dumbbells. I was looking for the weights in this set and I wanted a nice rack to keep them off the floor. So far they feel solid and accurate and are working as expected. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 - The (2) 20 pound dumbbells shipped separate, which was fine...but everything else was in 1 box! That's 106 pounds plus the rack and packaging. The delivery guy struggled and almost dropped it, and then I had to move it from my front door step. How much more could it cost them to ship it in 3 boxes or redistribute it into 2 boxes under 100 pounds? So lucky the box didn't drop and the contents get lost or wrecked. Otherwise it is a great set!
