I have a nice, vintage Aiwa AD-WX707 - Double Cassette Deck(2Head/Bias Trim/Etc) available for SHIPPING ONLY. That means FREE, you pay shipping.

It's MINT w/ the factory feature sticker, still on top of the faceplate. This is a decent deck to rekindle the old days of tape media. The recording options are endless if you are a taper...ala Dolby B & C.

It's been cleaned up and treated w/ CAIG products. I treated it like it was for me, so it's better than you would find elsewhere.

Thanks for looking. Break out the Def Leppard NOW!

    Nice snag McLoki.... let me know if this falls through, as I'd like to be next in line.

    Making mix tapes is still an obsession...
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Good to hear you'll be putting it to use! I can't begin to say how much I've enjoyed running through my cassettes since getting my cassette player!

    I have a Tandberg TCD-310 in the AR-9 rig, and some kind of Sony ES in the He-Man rig. I do have a lot less cassettes around here ever since Ed Savinon stopped by for over a thousand of them.

    It's cool to listen to some old stuff that never made it to CD every now and then...

    Wow. Now that I'm into cassettes again...a thousand of them sounds fantastic! That'd make for some awesome listening time!

    Nice grab McLoki and well done Doro.

    A forum member hooked me up on a cassette deck sometime ago and i still enjoy using it. It's cool finding a tape at the local Goodwill of a band i had forgotten about or trying something new that i may not have otherwise.

    I would suggest making use of that second deck. Record your old favorites before you wear them thin.

    Enjoy!

    Doro,

    I got the cassette player today. It is great. While I have played Def Leppard (high and dry) I must admit that that first thing played on it was Red Rider... :)

    It sounds awesome. Thanks so much.
