I don't go to thrift stores much anymore as I used to, but I walked into one a few weeks ago and came home with one of the original Casstete Corders ever made.Paid a very cheap price for it. Surprised when I got it home and it works perfectly. These things were made to outlast the cockroach.Amazeing thhe Old red Fidelity batterys havent leaked. The unit was pretty much in amazeing working condition. BTW< has there ever been an old battery thread? I think thhere should be. I took those to old batterys out and saved thhem into my freezer.

i have to ask you this....why the freezer for the batteries ?

Wow-that's old, and it's a Panasonic (nice to see the original carrying case).

Thanks for sharing the photos, jerryjg.

By the way, a old battery thread is a wonderful idea.
