PHILIPS SBC 6540 Walkman Cassette Player

All servicing details are shown in the photos. I take great care when servicing my players, and I’m happy to show you exactly what has been done.
“It works” is not my standard. My aim is higher — I want it to work perfectly.

1. Motor serviced and lubricated for stable and consistent tape speed.
2. Tape head cleaned and serviced, with both left and right channels working perfectly. The head is in excellent condition.
3. Stereo radio — fully working.
4. Speed calibrated using a 3 kHz test tape to ensure the correct standard tape speed. This is very important. With an old cassette player, incorrect speed can completely ruin the listening experience, especially with music.
5. 2-level DBB bass boost, adjustable for a powerful and punchy sound.

Where can you find a cassette player that you can buy with complete peace of mind?
With a vintage cassette player, simply being told “it works” doesn't mean much. If the machine hasn't been properly serviced and carefully maintained, you may never get the listening experience it was capable of delivering.
That's exactly what I aim to provide.

The price is for the player only. Batteries and cassette tapes are not included.
You are welcome to test and listen to it when collecting. I will provide batteries and a cassette tape for you to test the player. If you're happy with it after testing, you can go ahead with the purchase.
