mould wow.
so far have been looking at some akai models a x-2000ad while it can record
cassette and 8 track also has been in storage for 30 plus years and is in
the new island of northland.
a few other akai as they seem to be the cheapest. most seem to have bits
missing or endup withdrawn by seller lol.

would like to know what ones to avoid.

just a retro audio nerd adding to his wall of cassette players while the
wife thinks they look cool

any advice welcome
