Description
In the 1980s, the market was flooded with Sony Walkman clones, and this was an early one: the Unitech IS-113F, made in Korea in 1981-1982 by Samsung(?). It features an FM tuner module which fits into the cassette compartment, and chrome/metal tape playback. It was also sold by DAK under their own name.
Here is a forum thread documenting an amazing collection of Sony Walkman knockoffs from the early 1980s, including Unitech: https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/the-cloneman-mission.331/
