    Who says antiques are expensive!

    This was a complete surprise. To be able to buy a brand new ex-GPO Cassette Player at an affordable price is some surprise! Lets face it, this is antique technology, but when you have rare cassettes that never made it to CD or MP3 this is the answer: this model is not a tinny portable version, more neat desktop and furthermore it is mains or battery. So I’m a happy bunny!! make it to CD or MP3

    noisy and stiff buttons

    This retro-looking cassette player failed to live up to expectations. The push buttons are incredibly difficult to push down making it awkward for arthritic fingers to use, but also for anyone else. Loading the cassette can be a bit fiddly and you have to get the cassette lined up in just the right position in order to be able to shut the lid; no room for manoeuvre. But undoubtedly the worst and most annoying feature of this product is the noise the machine makes when a cassette is being played! The whirring of the motor is annoying and distracting and no matter how you position the machine you can't get rid of the noise. If using headphones you can put a pillow over the machine, but only one ear of headphones will work. I tried a few different ear pieces but still the sound only comes out ...

  • Exactly what we needed

    Fantastic! We needed a brand new, in the box, cassette recorder as a prop for a play, and we found one at an amazing price. Unfortunately coronavirus has meant that we have had to cancel the play. Oh well.

  • Basic and easy to use.

    Record and play keys don't always latch. Rewind and Fast (sic) Forward speeds are low, especially near end of cassette. Too early to comment on durability but this is same design my Akai A61024 which had failed.

  • I small niggle only

    Very pleased with this product, but have not given it 5stars because the controls are exceedingly difficult to engage. I am hoping that with use they will loosen up a bit. It seems a robust product, sound quality is reasonable and improved with using headphones. Overall I would recommend it.
