Sony Cassette player

Good things come in small packages, what more is there to say (think what you will of this, just remember in the words of Napoleon 'it isn't the size of your ship that matters, its the amount of seamen you have that counts'). Anyhow, as I was saying, this Sony cassette player is tiny, 11cm long, 8cm wide and 2cm thick. For something of such a small size, it delivers superb quality. What does it do you may ask... Have you asked it yet? Why not? Ask it... Good. Unlike other Walkmans, this one only plays cassettes, it does not have an in built radio or GPS or MP3 or coffee maker with milk frother ... more

The Sony WM-EX 605 is purely a personal cassette player. I bought one last week for my six year old daughter, as she likes to listen to books on tape. The unit features are: Feather touch controls, auto reverse, remote control, and up to 35 hour battery life. Feather touch controls basically just a gentle touch of the button will activate that function. Auto reverse well this turns the tape over without removing the tape from the unit but this is an intelligent auto reverse it can be programmed to play both sides of the tape once or continuous play (where the tape will continue to play until ... more

I bought this in 2001 for £19.99. You can still buy this walkman on various places online like http://www.electronics-online.co.uk for £24.99 or on www.amazon.co.uk for £39.99. Also you will find it on online auction sites like www.ebay.co.uk and www.ebuyer.com. I can't believe that the price is that high for a product that has been on the market for 5 years already. This walkman is available in two different colours. Blue, which the code for is WM-FX193L and Grey, WM-FX193H. I don't think the colour makes a different to the walkman itself to be honest but it's nice to have the choice. I have ... more

If you are reading this because you like me and what to show me your support, thank you and read on. If you are reading this because you are interested in getting one of these tape players, go and get your head looked at. I won this in a raffle about two weeks ago. Freshly wrapped straight off the shelf from Tesco (they left the price on). When my ticket was drawn out the winner, I went up to claim my prize. My mate said not to be tight and donate it to the charity that the raffle was for, but me being me said no. And don't I regret it. Yes I got home and opened it, thinking because it looked ... more

This was my first ever walkman, which I bought about five years ago. At the time it was considered to be the latest technology. This is a tape and radio walkman. The tape player has all of the normal functions (play, stop, reverse and fast forward). It has an auto stop function, so that when the tape gets to the end, it will automatically stop, meaning you avoid damaging the tape. It however does not have an auto reverse function, so you do actually need to open the tape door, take the tape out and put it back in the correct way. The buttons are the old fashioned style, where you can actually ... more
