What is that???

Is that a picture of an old radio cassette player?

Did not know those things were still in use.

C'mon people, get yourselves iPods or a type of Mp3 player. Be for real!!!!

VERY nice Ben....I know you had been looking for one of those for awhile! What repairs did it need, and what did each person do?

redbenjoe - 2010-06-05 20:50

reli --it was a one owner --but used daily as an outdoor pool & beach type box --
so it needed most of every cosmetic , mechanical and elecrtical part renewed --
all 4 members did superb jobs --to make it work and look like a brand new box.
