    Oh man I'm jealous! I think the Technics is the only component deck you don't have? I'm not sure if there were any others.

    Thank you very much. But in my opinion, the most interesting instance is the Hitachi Lo-D MC50. It records high frequencies very well and if you don't see the sound source, you'll never guess what the microcassette is playing.

    I watched a lot of videos on YouTube, but the sound quality was not clear there, but now I can appreciate it and I will tell you that it is impressive considering the format

    I had to spend a lot of time and money on hobbies and now I'm happy, everything that interested me is in my collection. I am a big fan of SONY and all the most interesting things from this corporation also fall into my collection.

    Great price, do you know what it went for?

    That is much more rare than the Sanyo/Fisher Version and I don't have one. The Sanyo/Fisher is very heavy and a high-quality build.

    I posted the full page in Boombox Archaeology, from 1982, another very rare deck. It show how expensive this format was, I'm sure most people would want a portable to go with the component deck and they were pretty expensive as well.

    It went for far more than that. As it was sold at auction. What do you think it went for.

    Let's just say barely less than 400 not counting shipping.
