My Recent Purchase Aiwa HS-PX303

I recently purchased from germany an Aiwa HS-PX303.  It was listed on German Ebay with a starting price of 35,00 Euros.  I bid on the unit and then the seller contacted me to let me know someone offered him 60,00 Euros to buy it now.  Because I had asked a question and expressed my desire for the unit, he contacted me with this info.  I then countered with 80,00 Euros and he took my offer.  Only after I won the auction did he let me know he also had all the original packaging.  

      So yesterday it arrived and let me tell you, this unit is in Mint condition!  So many times these Walkman are beat up, but this guy took such great care of her.  It was complete with all accessories, headphones w/remote, carrying case (never used), battery box, manual & yellow box.  I have seen pictures of a black and bronze PX303 box! When did they change from the basic yellow, or is it a matter of which country the unit was sold in?  This is a European version because of the AC adapter style.

     Any way here are a few pictures of my pride and joy.  This completes my High end PX & JX collection.  The unit does work but only half way.  As soon as I put a battery in her, the motor starts, and the buttons are a little erratic.  Caps will need to be replaced, but I can't complain a mint PX303 complete in the box for 80,00 Euros!  Score one!
