There you go then, I bet a working minter would be worth a grand nearly.
I think the other thing that put me off it was the single tape deck and the Aiwa had two. All that copying I planned to do with those dual decks! Which never happened.

I think the only tape copying I ever did on the Sharp was Sinclair ZX Spectrum games! I did make lots of compilation tapes for the car, though, recording records to cassette. Happy Hour by the Housemartins was on several of them - at just over 2 mins it was perfect to fill that final bit of tape left at the end! Nowadays most singles are that short, although I don't think my phone has the same capacity problems!
B&W 302 speakers - well worth £75 they were pretty good

AI meets Led Zeppelin again. Evidently Robert Plant was an influence on Run DMC...

IMHO, Led Zeppelin II is the best of their LPs.
These SAST CD players are pretty cool:

KEF C95 at a very reasonable price - big three-way with the UNI-Q driver - good speakers these and an easy load too:
