This thing Rocks! Super beautiful early 90's Sony boombox with an onboard condenser mic! Works perfect and sounds incredible!
Having a cool small tape machine around with a good onboard mic is a really cool way to get rad acoustic guitar sounds on a coffee table. It’s basically the Keith Richards Dictaphone trick, blow that mic out with an acoustic guitar and make it sound nice and crunchy almost like an electric guitar. I brought this thing into band practice yesterday with crushing loud drums and amps and just let it run, and it seriously sounded super epic! A great studio trick is to put a cheap tape player in the room with the drums along with the rest of the studio mics, then layer in the sound of the crunchy drums off the tape on top of the nice studio drums. It sounds awesome.
The tape deck on this works awesome, both for listening to albums on cassette and recording with the onboard mic. The radio is not working, but the whole appeal is in the tape deck. Tapes are awesome. Everything on it looks bright and vibrant. This thing is as old as the second Terminator movie and it’s survived epically into the future. I’ve looked around online and this is one of the cleanest one of these I’ve found, It’s a super beautiful piece. I recorded some acoustic guitar on my living room on this and it’s going on my album. There’s a line in as well! You can run an outside mixer into this thing, it would be awesome if you mic’d up a full drumset into a mixer and recorded it to this thing. It would sound so good and give a project a super unique artistic angle. The condition is overall really good considering the age, most importantly it works perfect and sounds great. There's a few aesthetic things here and there, but it's a 30 something year old tape machine that sounds awesome and looks rad. Comes with the original power cord. Super great piece!
