I just bought a really really nice Harmon Kardon CD391 cassette deck for a song. Once I cleaned the heads and capstains and reconditioned the pinch rollers and demaged it, I played:
Donald Fagan-"The Nightfly" Amazing Rhythm Aces-"Too Stuffed To Jump" Charlie-"Lines"
Sounds GREAT! Love that analog sound! |
I went to a local estate sale today and picked up over $200 worth of sealed, blank type II & IV cassette tapes, (Fuji, Maxell, TDK) and over 600 pre-recorded cassette tapes in excellent condition for...a whoppin' $25!
They even threw in quite a few cassette holders/cases/drawers.
Still going through them, but I think I did okay :-) |
The Concert In Central Park-Simon & Garfunkel
(Just recorded and played back on a Maxell XLII90 via a Kenwood KX-7030). |

I am working my through "The Beatles-The Collection" that I recorded from the MOFI box set back in the early 80's. I used the metal shell TDK MA-R90 (5 total tapes).
I opened my first high-end store at about that time and was a MOFI dealer. I actually gave (2) Beatles box sets away as Grand Opening prizes. Very low serial numbers, like below 100, IIRC. |
Mother Love Bone was a band that I never got a chance to really get into. I wasn’t aware, (until I just looked it up), that in a roundabout way, Pearl Jam was formed from their ashes. Also, I never knew that "Apple" was their only album.
Thanks for posting this! I love learning about new things, especially audio/music related.

I just got my 680ZX back from Willy. He is a true master. Also, just purchased a really nice TOTL 3-head Kenwood deck that makes fantastic recordings.
I've been doing A LOT of cassette recording and playback recently. Love the hands on aspect of this! |

Lines-Charlie (Maxell MX-46 recorded from the LP to a Nak Dragon).
One of my favorite groups. This album is superb! |
Too-Rye-Ay...Kevin Rowland & Dexys Midnight Runners.
(Recorded on a Fuji FR-II 46 from the LP to a B&O 8000). |
Fotomaker-Fotomaker (Self-Titled)
(Recorded on a Denon HD7 60 from the LP to a BIC T-4) |
Don’t you just hate that! Got to end of side 2 and the tape pulled right off the hub and now junk as a sealed case....grrrrrrr.
Knock on wood, that hasn't happened to me in ages. I used to have a deck (can't remember which one) that always snapped the tape at the end. Never could get it to work correctly. Think I threw it away. Bummer dude! |
The Collection-Spyro Gyra
(Just recorded and played back on a Maxell XLII90 from the CD, via a Kenwood KX-7030).
|
The Very Best Of-David Sanborn
(Just recorded and played back on a Maxell XLII90 from the CD, via a Kenwood KX-7030).
I'm really not a jazz guy, but for some strange reason today, it struck my fancy... |
Street Life 20 Great Hits .... Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music.
LOVE that album! I have it on both CD and LP, but haven't recorded it yet. How about: Avalon-Roxy Music
(Recorded from the Simply Vinyl LP to a Maxell MX-46 cassette on a H/K CD-391).
|
Quarterflash-Quarterflash (Self-Titled)
(Recorded from the LP to a Fuji FRII-46 on an Optonica RT-6905) |
Candy Dulfer - Sax-A-Go-Go. Also from the Estate buy. |
Windham Hill Guitar Sampler II. One of my recent acquisitions from that Estate sale. |
