I had one of these, bought with money from mowing lawns in Japan in approx 1984/5. I want to say that I paid the equivalent of about $90.
SONY WM-7 world’s first auto-reverse Walkman | The Walkman Archive
Quote:
DESCRIPTION:
This Walkman was the very first model in the history that featured two brand new technologies that made it very important in the history of players: one was a mechanism that allowed the user to switch to the other side of the tape without having to pull it out of the player: the auto-reverse. The other was the feather-touch control buttons. As you know, dozens of models featured those technologies after this milestone.
It has the following features:
- World’s first feather-touch control buttons.
- World’s first auto-reverse mechanism.
- Dolby B Noise reduction
- Normal/CrO2-Metal tape selector
- Very heavy, strong built
- Full metal body
- Made in Japan
This is indeed a true milestone and a real jewel for passionate collectors. It’s very hard to find.
