Turn heads with this Sony WM-FX43 portable cassette player and classic foam headphones. Take a break from the digital world and live in the moment. Rewind, fast-forward, flip the tape and watch it spin. Listen to an album all the way through. Slow down and embrace the analog experience that is music on magnetic tape.

If you're getting into cassette tapes for the first time or revisiting an old music format, do it on a Sony for consistent, reliable audio performance. The WM-FX43 also includes a tested and working radio, allowing you to seamlessly switch between NPR and The Clash with the flip of a switch.

This cassette player has been expertly refurbished by our analog electronics gurus. This unit has new drive belts, a calibrated playback speed, a deoxidized volume potentiometer and a demagnetized tapehead. All components have been gingerly polished by our refurb technicians.

Please note this little player had an entire life before Retrospekt. It will show signs of previous usage, but it is guaranteed to be working, clean and restored.

What is a B-Grade?

B-grade cassette players have been refurbished by our team and are fully tested and functional. However, they may not be in the best cosmetic condition and will feature some combination of scuffs, paint chips and other imperfections. While they may not be ready for the meticulous collector, they still work great and they still deserve love. So we're selling them at a discounted rate!

The B-grade cassette player pictured is the exact item you will receive. Please note this specific cassette player's LCD has some issues and may not work perfectly, as well as a noticeable lack of Mega Bass. Please reference all photos for an accurate depiction of the item's condition.
