Sony Walkman WM-FX195 Cassette Player from Japan
Portable cassette tape player designed for personal audio playback using magnetic media, featuring built-in amplifier but no loudspeaker. It falls under HTS 8519.81.25.00 as a sound reproducing only cassette-type tape player that is 'other' (not meeting the pocket-size criteria of 8519.81.15). Lacks recording capability and external power dependency for core function.
