AIWA TA493 Cassette Walkman Player

AIWA TA493 Cassette Walkman Player

serviced on October 25, 2025.
This is an AIWA model featuring 4 sound modes, absolutely worth very long time I’ve spent maintaining it. I own many AIWA players with this 4-sound system, and their sound quality has never disappointed me. I truly hope you can come and try it in person — once you listen to music through it, you might be moved to tears.

1. Automatic / Manual Rewind
2. Rewind switch disassembled and fully serviced (see photos) – this is without question the best condition it’s been in for years. No one else would spend this much time on it, but trust me, it’s worth it.
3. Motor lubricated and serviced
4. Head in excellent condition
5. Comes with the original belt clip, taking you right back to the 1990s
6. Stereo Radio

Price is for the Walkman unit only, tapes and batteries are not included.

You’re welcome to come and test it in person — I’ll provide batteries and a cassette. You can sit in my van and listen privately until you’re completely satisfied before deciding to buy. Don’t worry — once you put on the headphones, I’ll know you’re going to buy it. Its sound quality will make you lose track of time.
