It's a nostalgia thing for me. My aunt used to it a lot when I was 3-5 years old.

Your family must have had some money if you switched to CDs that early

I have a Sony TC-K4A, sexy as fuck.
/g/ isn't very cassette savy though, I suggest :

OH BUT WAIT

The decks with switches like that break easy as hell. Unless you are personally picking it up, I wouldnt recommend unless you are willing to self-repair if it gets broken (intense gluing).
In shipping both the pause and record buttons broke off of my deck, was a bitch to repair

Look for a NAKAMICHI DRAGON
or it least look up its legend
My day-to-day deck is a Technics RS-B49R, it's a late-80s deck with Dolby B, C, and DBX. Auto reverse, loop play, blank skip... all the nice features.
AKAI GX-95 master race.

But the deck I really like is an Akai GX-F25. Early 80s, heavy as balls, flashy lights, aesthetic as fuck. All the control buttons on the bottom light up different colors, and the orange tape progress thing is backlit.
Mine has a crusty rubber wheel though, so it can't fast forward or rewind. I need to fix it at some point, but it's a massive pain in the ass.

That CD changer second from the top looks like an old Realistic (RadioShack brand) I had years ago. Does it have a 6 disc cartridge?
>>57065009
Yeah

Damn this deck is good. I'd one day like to own a dragon, but they're very, very, expensive.
I got this one here. The unit plays fine, but the counter belt just fell apart from age, so I need a new one.
