Great product!
I am a personal assistant for a woman who has vision issues and this cassette recorder was the perfect thing for her to dictate things for me to type up for her and I’m so glad to have found it. We have purchased others in the past and even tried digital but this one has been the most user friendly for her and I. A couple of the tapes that came with it were bad (most likely just age and wear) but I wasn’t really purchasing for the extra tapes and more so for the simplicity of it and tapes are surprisingly relatively easy to come by and is really the least of my worries.

Good deal
I've seen prices for this product over $200.00. this was definitely a good deal for me. I had an old tape I wanted to listen to.

Great little gadget!
Even came with batteries and two tapes. It was fun to hear some recordings I had made in 1983. When I found the cassette I thought it would be hard to find a working micro-cassette play. E-bay is my go-to spot for situations like this!

Dream come true
I’ve been meaning to buy a recorder like this for months now and it arrived in perfect condition. I’ve been using it all day, mainly to get used to it, and I love it already. Thank you for the added tape as well, I’ve almost blown through the first one.

old school tape recorder
Here is a throwback item back to the 1990s. I found this and went ahead and purchase it. My use is to record my voice in private in writing stories for fun

It's okay
Product's headphone jack was busted when I got it, and the volume from the speaker is very quiet. Device works and is in great visual shape otherwise.

Works as well as expected
This old radio shack mini recorder works about as well as it probably did new. My only complaint is that is has a continuous whine in the playback.
