hi tony,

that's true, that's why I'm thinking of getting another one. hopefully this 
soni one does as long as my last one did, I had it for 11 years and the chap 
who gave it to me had it for several years before that again. maybe I should 
keep it and take it to a museum or hang on to it for 11 more years and take it 
to the Antiques  road show.

many thanks

Susan

  Hi Susan,

  You are very fortunate to have been able to purchase a cassette recorder at 
all these days.

  I understand that a number of lines have been now discontinued!

  It will only be a matter of time (and not too long I reckon) that 
tape-recorders will be definitely a thing of the past; unless The Antiques 
Roadshow possibly! (smile)!

  I suggest that folk like myself who have important and much-loved cassettes 
should check out their recorders and replace them to play the cassettes if 
necessary.

  There are ways to transfer cassette content to digital but I haven't gone 
down that road as yet anyway; Audacity I think is the name of the programme.

  I have a Merantz which I have been made offers for but no thanks I will hang 
on to it; served/serves me well!

  Don't know The Shoebox at all but it sounds quite handy to use.

  I know that there is a Sony store too here in Dublin's O'connell Street close 
to Eden Quay.

  Best,

  Tony

      Hello Susan,
      I think I know the recorder you are writing about.

      it is a Philip's recorder, and it indeed has piano keys, and a volume 
control on the right hand side of it.
      I still have such a recorder to play the odd tapes.
      the model number is:
      type d 6280-00

      Bert

        hi Joe,

        no this takes ordinary cassettes, it is like the shoe box, lies on it's 
back and has a piano keybord like controls, ie from left to right, record, 
play, fast rewind, fast forward, stop and pause.

        hope this makes sense, it is about 12 years old.

        many thanks

          hello susan, can you explain a little more  what you mean by shoe box 
tape recorder, most recorders today are digital recorders with SD cards, 
although some people still use minidisk recorders,  most audio  journalists 
today  are as i say  using the digital recorders, some of them are not very 
blind friendly, i'm currently using the plextor recorder, it is excellent for 
people with sight loss, and the quality is brilliant, don't know if this helps, 
take care, travel safely, joe.
