Notes:
- It is likely that only we put this much effort into this unit. We will ignore discount requests unless competitors offering the same model and performing the same work appear. We will gradually lower the price at our discretion, but the minimum will be 5000 yen.
- This unit comes with either a DC motor or a three-phase AC motor depending on the manufacturing period, but this particular unit for sale is the former.
- Only the main unit is sold. Please prepare recording tapes and two AA batteries separately.
- There are quite a few scratches. (See images 4 and 5).
- Occasionally, some people mistake this unit for a Walkman, but this is a monaural tape recorder. When headphones or earphones are connected, only the left channel will play. If you want to listen with both ears, please use a 2-pole male to 3-pole female conversion adapter. (This unit is a monaural cassette recorder, so it will not be stereo.) Single-ear earphones work normally with 2-pole, 3-pole, and 4-pole connectors.

Packaging and Shipping: Approximately 250g, over 3cm thick. Will be shipped via YuYu Mercari Plus.
