Sanyo M3500 Dynamic Sound Cassette Recorder

doity - 2013-02-10 21:45

Rare Sanyo M3500 Dynamic Sound 3500 AM/FM Cassette Recorder.  Interesting (and rare?) unit which features speaker outputs on both sides and is silver on one side and black on the other.  2 -way speaker system with a built in condenser mic and also a PA function which I did not test.

 

I tested it and the tape plays but is slow.  Most likely needs a new belt after all of these years.  The FM does not work.  Picks up some of the stronger stations but the tuning does not seem to have much of an effect.  Could be a loose antenna wire or something.  AM works fine and reception is strong.  The battery compartment looks clean and comes with AC cord.  Overall cosmetics are good for age with some wear and tear but nothing major.

 

Asking $75 plus postage or best offer.  A boxed one went on Ebay for $250 or so with the same FM problem.  Must be typical for this unit for some reason.

Are you sure? these tend not to turn up very often, which is a shame as they're interesting.

 

This one ended last week for €15 - http://www.ebay.fr/itm/SANYO-D...;hash=item20ceda3dc8

If anyone want to make an offer on this feel free.

I could offer $15 since FM does not work and cassette player either

Hi toncito,

 

 

Not really sure about shipping to Brazil as it would seem that shipping costs would be more than the radio or at least close to the asking price.  Also, I do not use PayPal.  If none of this bothers you PM me and we can discuss details.

Hi Luke,

1) I can pay in a remittance via Western Union:you can clear the money in any of Western Union branches

2) As for my experience the ECONOMICAL shipment should be around U$ 50 for such item.Please check by your side and email me again

Hi Luke,

can you suply me you phone number(with country code and area code?

Regards,Michael

I want to close the deal with you!

Hi. Best of luck with your transaction but if for any reason it does not go thru ( hardship packaging, US or foreign customs, shipping, trouble getting the money or whatever it may be)  I am willing to pay asking price plus postage.  I have cash on hand and ready to pop.  I think sending it will be easier with USPS new "if it fits it ships" flat rate system.  I am in the states and can use money in minutes via Money Gram at Walmart.  I'll tell you why I want it. My dear uncle received one of those back in the day when he married as a wedding present. They were quiet the item back then in 1979. I was eight at the time. He talks a lot about it with great nostalgia. We had no money whatsoever growing up in Mexico. He tells the story on how it was a hard choice to sell it to make rent one time!!! He is my uncle and baptism god father. His wedding anniversary is coming up and I think it will be a great gift.  Please let me know if the sale don't come together...

Looks like the only real option is the large priority mail international shipping box at $78.  No other options such as surface mail, etc.  If that is fine with you email me at jakeminnie@juno.com and we will work out the details.
