I heartily concur sir, as the last 2 months in a row have netted me two (count 'em) 2, perfectly functional as the day Sony made 'em, sports walkmanz (in Sony yellow), one with, one without AM/FM radio, both cassette players fully functional as the day they were made to last forever.

Uhhh, the am/fm receivers in those things?? Long and strong, highest quality imaginable.

The goddamn things are indestructible and 2 aa's last longer in one of them than in any device made since that requires em...

Uh....one was 5 dollars new in the box from a garage sale, one form a thrift store for $4.04. Incidentally, when these things were on the top of Xmas lists new...they cost about $125-$150 US back in early 80's dolla-Do the math, bitches.

I wear your grandma's clothes, motherfuckers!

But today's many Sony's products suck compared to the old days.

I had a few AM/FM Cassette types from different brands in the 80's. I only bought ones that had a tracking screw for adjusting the path of the tape over the tape head.

ChaosEnginesays...

yep, my backpack in highschool.... 1 or 2 schoolbooks, whatever fiction I was reading and about 20 cassettes 'cos you never know if today was a Slayer day, an Iron Maiden day or a Sepultura day (I listened to a lot of metal in my teens)

"I'm just thinking about how many cassettes you would need"

*sigh* too true!

My backpack had one pocket filled with cassettes and batteries. It was almost a status symbol to have one. Sadly my daughter doesn't even know what this is and it's a great piece of history.

ChaosEnginesays...

Yes, and thankfully consigned there.

Sorry but aside from nostalgia I have no desire to see cassettes ever again. Vinyl might have some superior audio, but absolutely every single aspect of listening to music now is an improvement over cassettes.
