    Hello!
    New member, and I LOVE anything that plays cassettes.

    I have always loved electronics since I was little. I didn't have a teddy bear, I had a boombox. Ever since then, electronics have always been a passion of mine. I started a small collection of boomboxes and portables a while ago. I love working on them, fixing them, selling them, but mostly, just slapping a solid metal (Type IV not the genre) tape in them and taking it all in.

    I don't have a big collection yet, but my favorites right now are my two Panasonic boxes:
    The RX-5010 resurrected from the garbage with new belts and lots and lots of contact cleaner and elbow grease. (Love the big window and great sound quality)
    And the Rx-FM30 the small but mighty! (and amazing sound quality too of course)

    My favorite portable cassette player at the moment is my Panasonic RX-S35. Nice big window, auto reverse Dolby B and solid build quality. Love it. And my latest score is a Panasonic RX-1925 "like -new" condition in box with original headphones with foam intact, and all the original documentation.

    Just wanted to give an idea as to where my mind is - I love what I've read & seen here so far and am glad to now be able to hopefully communicate with a lot of you soon.

    Regards,

    Tyler

    Hi, I will be on a rare trip ( for me ) as I am driving to a Funeral in Stowe VT ( 26 August 2017 ) and on the backside of this trip I will be wanting to see where my Dad grew up in Trenton NJ, I just thought I would mention. :wavey:

    Just figuring out how to do photos on here...but check these out! My two favorite at the moment:

    The ten dollar in box Rx-1925 with all paperwork and headphones (Which work perfectly btw).

    And the three dollar yard sale grab, the RX-S35. Only thing with the RX-S35 is the headphone jack is a little loose. Feels like its coming off the board. I'm not much good at soldering, so a piece of plastic (look closely) keeping it tight works for now ;) - I know it wont last but given my lack of experience, I'm hesitant to open it up and put a scorching hot needle to it...haha.
