Just what I ordered!

I didn\'t know these walkmen were still around. I am happy to get back into my tape cassettes which I have saved, I guess, just for this machine.

I love this player it has everything I was looking for AM\/FM \/and Weatherband on it. Great buy, great price, my only complaint is when I was tuning it to preset it the buttons were a bit touchy (fast) I had to try again being aware of the buttons...
