Yeppers could not pass this up works perfect even direction change the Sony WM-10RV ( WM-40 same model for Europe/Asia). Now have two WM-10RV's and a WM-40 Japan release with CTP-A1 AM/FM tuner module. Love these babies definitely technical marvels. Comes to USA from Original female owner in Aurora Colorado.

Awh now we all gotta love any of the First 10 Sony models. This one actually sounds pretty darn good for a budget model. I love the old big square early one's. Radio and cassette work spot on ! Love the original WALKMAN with FEET logo on box and even has the correct original MDR-10 Headphones. Anyone know the correct color foam on these?

SONY WM-F8

Here is a nice little newer model find the SONY WM-EX50 with DIGITAL CLOCK and Direction Display powered by single button cell CR2025 in the lid. Can use either a gumstick or single AA. It has the EX head with notation inside of Walkman. Works and was a bargain even coming from UK and over the pond no less.

Sony WM-10RV is my favorite one, does it work?

johnedward - 2009-11-03 13:37

Yes actually the WM-10RV is fully functioning and sounds good. A nice surprise for once.

The Pioneer ones must be rare-hope it's easy to get it working properly.

i got a wm-77 and a wm-777 fixed last week going in blind so that was pleasant. the last thing is to have a headphone adaptor or at least a set of headphones or you are out of luck. ya need one of those greeny adaptors but i am not sure which ones they will accomidate but they worked in these 2 players from 1992 & 1994. i didn't fare as well on an old wm-af605. i thought i had it till i hit the button and nothing happened. it was pretty rough when i got it anyway. i guess you can't win-em all. the old battery light didn't even come on !!!!
