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.

Quality and durable socks
Size: Large, Color: White (6-pairs), Number of Items: 6
Great quality socks. This pack was a lot taller on the cuff and bigger than previous batches I have had. Not sure what the change was, but giving it 4 instead of 5 because I preferred the smaller shorter ones they previously made. But these are great quality socks, and last a long time.

A Game-Changer for Comfort
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Number of Items: 6
I recently upgraded my workout gear with the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks, and I must say, these socks have revolutionized my exercise experience. Comfortable, durable, and stylish, they truly stand out in the crowded world of athletic socks. First and foremost, the comfort level of these socks is unparalleled. The blend of cotton and synthetic materials provides a soft and plush feel against my feet, making every step a pleasure. The quarter length strikes the perfect balance, offering ample coverage without being too restrictive or too short. It's like walking on clouds, even during the most intense workouts. One of the standout features is the moisture-wicking technology. I've worn these socks during high-intensity cardio sessions, and they have consistently kept my feet dry and comfortable. The breathability is remarkable, preventing that uncomfortable feeling of sweaty feet that often accompanies strenuous workouts. No more distractions – just focus on pushing through your fitness routine. Durability is another strong suit of these socks. After numerous washes, they maintain their shape and elasticity, showing no signs of wear and tear. The reinforced heel and toe areas provide extra support, ensuring longevity and preventing the dreaded sock holes that often plague other brands. The sleek design of the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks adds a touch of style to my workout attire. The subtle logo and choice of colors make them versatile enough to pair with any athletic shoes. Whether you're hitting the gym, going for a run, or simply running errands, these socks seamlessly blend fashion with function. In terms of sizing, I found that they fit true to size. The elastic band around the arch provides a snug yet comfortable fit, ensuring that the socks stay in place throughout any activity. While the price point may be slightly higher than some other options on the market, the quality and performance of the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks more than justify the investment. When it comes to comfort, durability, and style, these socks have become an indispensable part of my workout wardrobe.
