I've been on the lookout for one of these machines for a while, and while they do occasionally turn up for sale on ebay, I'm so glad I managed to acquire this particular one as the unique accompanying material weaves quite a tale. Hearing non-commercial recordings from the past is always a bit eerie and the subject matter of these is something that is going to stay with me for quite a while.

This is also the last of my automatically scheduled posts, I‘ll be back from my holiday (vacation) at the weekend. While I’ve been away I didn’t see any cool tech to buy, however that didn’t stop me ordering a few things on eBay and if you’re interested in seeing how that ‘Hi-res’ cassette player Toshiba launched in Japan performs well there‘s one of those on the way to me too.
