The Sony WM-701C is a legendary milestone in personal audio, representing the absolute peak of Slim-line Walkman engineering. Known for its sophisticated aluminum body and the rare inclusion of Dolby C NR, this model provides audio fidelity that rivals full-sized decks. It is highly sought after by collectors not just for its minimalist Y2K aesthetic, but for the complex mechanical precision required to fit a professional-grade player into a cassette-case sized chassis.
This unit has undergone a complete mechanical restoration to ensure peak performance. Maintenance included a full motor teardown, drive belt replacement, and precise tape speed calibration to 442Hz. While it is a vintage item and exhibits natural age-appropriate wear, it is in excellent cosmetic health with no major damage. Every function, from Auto-Reverse to Dolby logic, has been rigorously tested and confirmed operational.
