a comment of Jem Kime :
This goes far beyond mere styling of a then contemporary cassette deck.
The deck is able to run on battery, as well as mains, power and has a speed adjustment facility - useful after using low batteries.
The styling allows for both sloping or flat-top operation through an ingenious pivoted flap on the deck's base.
By today's standards it lacks logic control on the keys but still provides first class sonic quality with un-matched styling.
