SONY WM-F107 SOLAR POWERED WALKMAN with Working cassette player by Solar power
The original battery and belt still in player. Battery will charge by Solar for Radio to work for hour or more. The battery will not charge enough to power the cassette tape on its own but with battery holding partial charge AND SOLAR panel getting full bright Florida sun the cassette player works perfectly still. Of note it is thought that this is the ONLY Solar powered Walkman but one other was made which I have by Crown. A inexpensive no frills player not having the quality mechanicals/ amplifier that the F107 does but it does have a 3 band Equalizer and large Solar panel on one side. Here is link copy paste into browser to view the Crown Solar Walkman. http://tinypic.com/r/34erupd/6
