you could do a lot worse than buying this SUPERB cassette deck

this is mis listed - it's a KX 5010

stand on me - these make the best home recordings!

LOOK AT THOSE LED VU'S!

i still do the odd tape,

looks decent that kenwood,

definately a buyers market for seperates at the minute in the wild and online

you say that

but some people want nuts money for kit that ain't worth toffee

only certain models are worth collecting

All the time son...why listen to something you don't want to

^^true enough,

i only pay pennys for separates and they have to be decent.

an hour ago i ve just finished a mixtape !

You cant beat vinyl to tape !

iv been recording stuff off the radio onto cassette just lately....reminds me of back in the day when record the tim westwood show

we couldnt get westwood up here in manchester back in the day,pretty sure any mancunians on here will remember stu allen in the eighties though,

i still have tapes from back then

yer i remember stu allen as well bison...wish i still had some of my old tapes...used to play them in my old form room at school on my 8600

I paid out the wazoo for this at Circuit City back in the day. Don't let the dust fool you...I use it but the camera flash has its way of bringing out every dust particle. Not sure if it is a valuable model but it has everything from pitch control to computer bias calibration. I wondered what this was when I got it as I had never heard of it. This function fast forwards into the tape past the plastic lead and records various frequencies. It plays these back, selects the proper bias for that tape and then rewinds back to the beginning of the tape. I use it for Metal Bias tapes and it makes unbelievable Dolby HX-Pro tapes. Italso has Dolby B and C (which I didn't know there was a C but that's what I use because it sounds the best on playback...no hiss). JVC Model TD-W354

Anyway for what its worth..here it is.
