A fellow member RedBenJoe recently asked me after he bought the Panasonic RX-1960 if I knew of any other models with following criteria.
CASSETTE WALKMAN
Has analogue AM / FM stereo tuning -- a metal directional antenna-
and a stereo recording deck -- with L/R mics---a stereo lamp--
and a tape counter...
The Panasonic RX-1960
this model has all that --plus tone and stereo-mono switches-
balance control.....
a stereo speaker out jack
any other models in the world have all that ?
in this compact size ??
In my collection I came up with the following models that have all or nearly all of your criteria. I am sure that other members can add model numbers and photo of any Walkman that meet the above criteria.
AIWA HS-J02, AIWA CS-J1SY, Panasonic RX-2700, Panasonic RX-1960, Olympus SR-11

i sort of remember having a few sonys with all // most of these features -
maybe a wa 33 or wa 55 ?
AO should know or have these
the real metal antennas are many times better than the phone jack antennas
