Nice looking design. Now let's find a manufacturer who's willing to make an 80s quality deck mechanism. Doubtful anyone would.
Yes the 480/490/492 are huge and very loud, decent sound, but the bass isn't very impressive.
Or "Stereo" or "Auto Stop" or "2-Way Speakers" (when one of those speakers is just a cheap piezo tweeter from a talking greeting card)
That Telefunken was worth it, considering that several traditional, low-powered, non-hifi boomboxes were priced at similar amounts, just because...

Yes mine has German labeling [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have one of those, and the sound quality is only average. And there are no Sony parts inside, so I think he's lying about "Sony". It is too...
The problem with portable tape players/recorders is that the mechanism quality is very low compared to what was available in the 80s and 90s
drum & bass, you mean Boom Bap?

Don't get me wrong, most of them are good, but a couple have small white text on black backgrounds that seems to have become smudgy
