Rare PANASONIC RX-S70 personal cassette player AMORPHOUS HEAD Japan 80s Walkman

Description

Really rare Walkman-style PANASONIC RX-S70 personal cassette player/recorder (Metal/AX AMORPHOUS HEAD; stereo, auto-reverse, fm/am radio, Binaural Recording), made in Japan; this thing is so rare that I don't think one has ever been on ebay, at least back to the mid-2000's. It has an unusual quirk in that the headphone jack receptacle is smaller than the otherwise-universal 1/8-inch size (no other walkman had this - I had to buy an adapter, which is included with the player). TESTED - I played a tape on it three times and played the radio, everything worked great (though I didn't test the recording feature), BUT NOW FOR SOME REASON the little Play button is stuck down and the stop button won't release it, so none of the cassette buttons will function while it's depressed. So I know it works, but it now requires this one small repair.
Condition: EX (very clean overall inside and out with some minor scuffs, and a clean battery compartment with original cover).
