Visited a local flea market today and finally got a hit :o) ..

I was looking for a portable cassette player/recorder aka Walkman since last year now. Today i finally found one for a good price .. for a very good price :o).
Seller wanted 25, got it for 15 after some negotiation.. hihi.

It's looking quite good, motor is running but nothing is moving. Classic problem with a 38 year old player. The rubber band disintegrated. As this is a branded player, you can get a spare part kit around 20 bucks, so if nothing else is broken, i really got a good device for a total of 35 bucks.

It is an AIWA HS F150, with stereo recording via build in mic or 3.5mm input jack.

The two pics show the device from the front and top.
Front shows the Equalizer, top shows the selectors for Dolby, Band type(chrome/normal), reverse mode selector, pause, play, rec and such.
