Cassette Decks, anyone still use them

[SpokeyDokey]

I do miss my old Nakamichi Dragon that I sold a few years back on eBay - a really nice deck that I had loads of fun with.

All my cassettes have now been 'boot faired' - everything ripped to a NAS now and streamed.

Don't miss tangled tapes though!

Back in the day I used to have something very like this to store my tapes in the Opel Kadett...

I had one of the very first generation Astra's with the funny boot not a hatch...I think they did a Kadett version too

Funny it's only got headrests if you look at it from the back.

[QUOTE 4994416, member: 259"]I worked as a roadie for a PA company when I was a young un, and you could often find a deck hidden near the mixing desk. [/QUOTE]
Got even easier in the 80s when Sony launched the Walkman 'Pro', DAMHIKT

Mine was the SR hatchback - like this but a very light metallic green:

Recaro seats, factory sunroof, headlight washers - a right beast. Shame it ate itself...

Yes, since the deck of my Denon NS1 failed I got a yamaha off gumtree. Play tapes all the time. Sounds good. Vinyl too on the Rega.I also have loads of bootlegs from early 80's, live mostly. The cost to digitise them all would run into 100's of pounds.

Never play cd.

....and not only that, it's got a couple of extra doors.

I have a Shimano Tiagra cassette playing on a Vivente World Randonneur deck. It's very useful: gets me to and from work every day.

And door mirrors.

A 105 cassette would sound better.

Lolz I never noticed, do you think it might be two cars then?

At least they're both white.

I reckon this thread will snap irretrievably.

(I was also wondering why half the affiliate links don't work, in fact, I've had to report myself)

Both shite more like.

I moved onto a red GTE like this

And a white one when the red one was stolen and trashed in a police chase

Happy days
