 Found this nearly-mint specimen on eBay buy-it-now, so I did. I had a lower-featured CT-6R back in the day so there's huge nostalgia involved. The design of this line, circa 1981-82, was quite distinctive when introduced. Amazingly I found a matching SX-9 receiver NEW-IN-BOX a couple days later. Had the winning bid. Then I had a HUGE brain-fart with 8 mins remaining -- made a phone call to a business associate for a quick question. We got to yakking about other things, and I lost the item. However, now I found an SX-8 for buy-it-now. Has some wear vs. NIB but still is a nice alternative.

Really cool! that is a really cool looking cassette deck-and a really good one no doubt,probably 2-motor? Hopefully no repairs will be needed(belts,tires,pinch rolls)but parts might be readily avalible.Enjoy the proper analog sound :) | ||

My tape of choice back when cassettes were king was TDK SA's. Made hundreds of mixtapes for myself and others. I really liked the crisp sound of the high-end frequencies on SA's.

 As I recall, I liked TDK tapes. But my standard tape in the 80s was a cheap Type 1 BASF tape. It was handy--a local college bookstore had a great, big barrel of these tapes. They were individually sold, and priced nicely. The bookstore was handy--it was close to my high school, and I did a lot of school supplies shopping there.
Many years later, I ended up visiting that college bookstore. I asked out of curiosity if they had those tapes still...and the 20-something college kid said no. Then he told me about the wonders of burning your own CDs...
Those BASF tapes were good enough for the 1980s--I was stuck with not-so-great mass market equipment back then. I pretty much lost interest in tape once I got a good audio system, although I've played with/used tape a few times. I think my first passably good tape deck was an old Sony, which I got at Goodwill. The main reason for getting it was because I had just gotten a car for the first time that had a tape player, and I was curious to try it...but not curious enough to pay more than Goodwill prices for a tape deck. | ||
