    I know! I've been watching just to see what price it would sell for. Much more that I'd be willing to pay and it's got 4 days remaining yet, madness

    Sorry, but that is such an uncool piece of plastic trash, like many music centres from the 70s - utter garbage,

    If you want a gimmicky cool cassette machine, then the Nak RX505E - see this video at 2min 44 sec (it's in spanish, but that doesn't matter)

    Al, if you want a cassette deck, just buy a Nak CR7 or Dragon - end of. Even better if you can find one fettled by Alex Nikitin ANT4066. I had my Dragon serviced and upgraded by ANT4066 - sounds fantastic (but not a patch on my R2R machines).

    The TEAC Z series machines are very nice

    Where do you store 15 cassette decks in a listening/living room? My wife would have skipped them, If I brought that many home.
