Sony WM-30 Walkman (blue with case) - not working

Cosmetically, very good but won't play.  No obvious broken parts so perhaps it's just the belt.  Case is in OK condition but the printed word "Walkman" has pretty much worn off.

 

Overall, it's very clean (inside and outside).  I used it for many years in the late-80's but I took pretty good care of it.  And since then, it's just been in a box (with the battery removed).

 

Open to offers.  A working silver one sold on eBay for about AUD110 in July but I think that the blue ones are rarer.

 

I'm in Australia so postage would probably be about AUD10 (domestic) or AUD20 (international).

 

Not sure if the headphones in the photos are the originals, but happy to include them.

 

E-mail me [traveljapan@hotmail.com] or start a dialog with me if you're interested.  I can also send more photos.

Belts are very common for going bad. They go bad with sitting and not being used is what the repair shop told me today that sold me a belt for my wm-10 II. They only had one belt in stock. There are like 6 screws to remove to replace the belt on my wm-10 II and the center of the volume knob has to be unscrewed also to remove the volume knob. Thats why it has those little divits in it. I think this model is made like it. Replacing the belt will make the value go a lot higher.

Here is the belt and its less then 3 dollars plus shipping.
