Batteries are not included! GENERAL INFO The ultimate flagship from the WM-EX series, and specially imported from Japan - the exotic WM-EX2000! Released in (obviously) 2000 as the forefront of the millennium series, this unit comes in brushed aluminium with a beautiful holographic chromashift window. The EX2000 is notable for having the best performance characteristics of any other model in the EX series- that's in sound quality, exotic features, battery life and portability, and is a highly sought-after model as it's very rare. These models consistently go for thousands at auction, and there's a good reason- for those looking for the ultimate portable cassette player without compromise, there is simply no alternative. This incredible machine is able to sound every bit as good as a full-sized cassette deck whilst being perfectly suited for use on-the-go, and comes equipped with a generous suite of original accessories making this spectacular device a must-have for any serious enthusiast, collector or audiophile. As further endorsement, I personally use one of these models as my 'daily driver', and it hasn't let me down even after years of use. The mechanism has been fully serviced, calibrated, demagnetised and rebuilt by myself, and fitted with a new DeckTech belt.
