Great video, quick overview of each deck, not wasting time. Wondering if the Blaupunkt isn't a reworked Japanese unit and Sanyo made very good quality home products with fair pricing.

I have seen 12 presidents. Joe Biden is by far and away the VERY WORST ONE.

You showed and recommended really strange cassette decks. Concerning JVC for instance, their cassette play and wind mechanic is really poor. Really reliable cassette players were produced by onkyo, from whom you did not show any. There are a lot of machines from yamaha from around late seventies until mid 90s, same with sony or pioneer, which can be recommended for the average user.

Hello ABC Memphis, thank you for a great introduction. I bought the C844 sometime around 1981/82... 1200DM / 600Euro was a lot of money. I bought the C844 for my choir recordings. In an AB test (C844 against HIFI video recorder (3000DM)), the C844 was equal. (C844: double speed, Dolby C and pure iron cassette)... Of course the video tape / with helical track was unbeatably cheaper... The whole thing was topped off with my ASC6002S and the Super-D noise reduction system from Sanyo. However, that was a different league and an 1100m tape for 60DM was quickly sold at 38 / half track. I still have the C844 today. LG Manny

What did you do about the linking water … besides getting a bigger tray ?

New??

Another awesome video! Where do you find this old stuff?

Why not bring better decks and show em ? Instead you show cheap bottom of line machines...

What is the groovy music you are playing in the background? It’s production music of some kind. Do you have a title for it? I also heard it on a National Lampoon comedy LP from the ‘70’s.

I wish the higher end decks came in DUAL cassette so you can use 1 deck to make quality duplicates. And Silver would be ideal!

NEVER update the firmware. It will constantly prompt you to do so - don’t do it. It only creates problems. Throw that printer in the garbage. I did mine - two year lifespan and INSANE ink pricing. Using non Epson ink cartridges will kill the life of the printer. It works, but only for a short time. Premium off brand ink can work but they’ve made it so that non-Epson ink will kill it in a fairly short time.

Just a heads up - I bought my WF-4833 brand new and only used it extremely sparingly (almost entirely basic text, only sixteen 4x6 photos), but it has the most expensive replacement cartridges of all the Epson printers I've had over the last 30 years. Now today - just two years since buying it brand new at full retail ($140) - the magenta head is suddenly defective and it is out of warranty (one year mfg warranty). According to the print counter history, it only printed a total of 1, 980 pages in its entire two year lifetime. 1,117 B&W and 863 color prints. This thing had the shortest usable lifespan of any printer I have ever owned and it was not inexpensive. Considering how much ink it drinks and its horrible short lifespan I'm considering leaving the Epson family of printers. PS: That so called page count per cartridge - that's absurd. I had to buy new cartridges (at outrageously high prices) dozens of times - and you saw my total page count over it's short lifespan 1,117 B&W and 863 color. I'd throw this thing off a cliff if there was one near me.

My Grace Mondo+ no longer connects to server. WiFi working, as I can stream music from my computer, but does not get anything from internet. Shows Jan. 1 2000 date and hour glass symbol all the time. Rebooted many times, no change.

How can I see the files from the device???

I have two vintage JVC decks which are awesome.A KD55 and a KD-A55.They kick ass.

Aw hill nah, it got a gyattin motor in da bih

I worked as a TSPS operator in Maine for six summers during high school and college. I remember that training on that tape like the back of my hand. You had to fill in one of three "bubbles" on the IBM mark-sense ticket, depending upon type of service difficulty. WNO: wrong number PTR: poor transmission CTO: cut off When the customer dialed directly, and encountered one of these types of difficulties the customer would hang up, dial zero, report the problem. By filling out a ticket with all of the details of the prior call, the customer would receive a credit. (For PTR the credit was only for the cost of one minute, because it was assumed the customer would not stay on the line on a bad connection.) The tape was also training the operator for something called a "flashing recall," meaning that the call experiencing the trouble had been originally placed through an operator, and the calling party had not yet hung up. When the phase of such a call "seized" an operator position, a lamp flashed, indicating that the customer, instead of hanging up, had simply tapped, one or more times on the switch hook, thus causing return to an operator (probably not the same operator who initiated the call). The number of minutes the parties had been talking appeared in the Nixie display. A flashing call did not require an IBM ticket for credit. Because the calling and called telephone numbers were still accessible at the console, the operator simply expressed regret and reconnected the customer. Depending upon the length of the call thus far, the operator either forced a charge to magnetic tape by recording the timing or completely cancelled it with a different key. If the operator neglected to express regret and was being remotely monitored, it was an official error. Operator also had to reconnect customer to the same party by asking, "To whom were you speaking?," even if it had not been person-to-person. In the training room, the tape was supposed to advance forward by either a press of the correct key or by sensing the student operator's voice. However, many times, the voice activation had no effect, and we had to physically blow into the microphone to get it to advance!

Sirius XM plays old AT40 weekly on their seventies channel. I'm old enough to remember when Casey started around 1970 on Sunday mornings. Great personality and unique voice as you mentioned.

I bought my first tape recorder in 1965! It was a Realistic tube, Mono only. The worst squealing tape syndrome experienced was on the Concert Radio Shack brand made from the mid seventies. It was to be expected, as it was labeled as low budget tape, around 2 bucks for 1800" The tapes from the 60s are still playable in 2024! I have a box of Shamrock tapes unopened, I'll give them a shot.........

Upvote for "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" at the end. :)

I have one of these. Love it.

Nope. Most of the old people are happy that this stupid cassette times are over. Nuff said.

Спасибо!

These were prized possessions for a lot of folk.

Thanks for the video. I just had to repair the gearbox in mine. Can you tell me what the thermistor was tapped to. I didn't see it until it was just hanging there.

I can't seem to to get the videos to play now. MP4 file types, but "cannot render video." Just out of the blue. Weird.

Great fast format! Also awesome talking about belts and repair issues. Wish you would have mentioned if 3-head and bias (metal, chrome, variable). Surprised no Akai, Aiwa and Nakamichi

All the new shi@,, is all shi#,, they push energy savings , but when its all said and done , more wasted energy manufacturering product more frequently,,old washn mach last 40 years,, new ones youre lucky to go a couple of years without a problem,,its virtue signaling political b s.

the best earbuds in my life and its also affordbale

Made in Indiana, baby!

mayonase on a eskonste! going up stairs so see yall leter

later

helloo 🤣

I am about to buy a cc547 camcorder 😂😂

2 days later 😂😂😂

I agree that the Yamaha K960 is a champ! I had one for many years before selling it and replaced it with a Pioneer CT-F1250. The only drawback with the Yammie is if you record using DBX you can only playback in the same deck. DBX sounded better than any noise reduction I've ever heard. BTW, I bought my first real cassette deck in Yokosuka at the Navy Exchange. A TEAC A-350. A work horse of a deck and built like a tank. In my vintage Sansui rack I have a SC-5330 and used it to transfer all my cassettes to mp4 (Apple lossless format...and a dumb decision, but worked out okay in the end).

Incredible how the circuit board has shrunk with the later models. The units from the 90s had the best image but have bad rubber belts (won't eject cassette), and bad capacitors inside the power supply - not difficult to fix. Units from late 90s early 2000s had the bad Taiwan capacitors - many of them, not worth fixing, either no image or no sound. Speaking about image quality, it's not a matter of definition, but a matter of memories. Many original cassettes have lost some magnetism by now, resulting in washed off colors. You can still record a new cassette and be amazed of the intense colors. Keep in mind, VCR play only 4:3 format, so the top and bottom of the image will be chopped on a wide screen.

Old units were packed with several circuit boards and had rubber belts - these crumble and won't eject the cassette. Later units - much smaller and very lightweight - no longer have problematic power supply and have very small circuit boards that also use micro capacitors and have direct drive motor - no more rubber belts. Unfortunately, later units use cheaper head bearings which are too noisy during playback - some noise is normal, but these cheap units from 2000s are too noisy.

Great ❤️

Made in German new sound home made why

Mines not working anymore

Salut my friend super Tape super video subscribe subscribe ...

thanks you are the best!!!!! i love you thanks

Hi, great video! What size lamp pipe did you use and what size bit to drill the hole in the plate? TIA!

Maravilloso

well, given all the interruptions i had to watch more than once to understand your over-all review, at least enough to know i've decided not to get one of these. i have one of the Realistic, those have always been great eq's

I have a ads c2 which is great

I've worked on all of those, as well as beta and u-matic. I still have a VCR for transfering to digital.

Same oven, same issue. I was hoping that you had a fix for this instead of replacing the $300 part. Darn it. Thanks for the video.
