    This weekI had to visit Madrid for work and met a guy that is also a cassette fan. He took me to the Cassetteria, a very curious cassette label that also has a store where they sell their own releases as well as old cassettes, new launches and even walkmans and decks.

    He has many walkmans and stuff displayed there, very interesting:

    This is displayed just after entering the store:

    And new old stock cassettes:

    As well as the usual modern rubbish:

    And here are the machines he uses to make his own releases:

    How'd I miss this thread?

    Killer shop, I kind of had the same dream years ago and that justified my unruley spending. Unfortunately over here property taxes will kill your investment, one shop I looked at would have been $1000 USD/month just for taxes, I have no idea how small businesses can do it and this was 15 years ago, it's probably double now.

    I'm dying to know what that Pacman Walkman is?

    I think here there's a much lower taxes for property, although renting is expensive.

    it's more a frame with a design:

    I thought it might be some special Spanish Co-branding, still cool though.
