Susan,
Many good ones I trust it is!
They are not making stuff certainly like the used to that's for sure!
I guess that your first Shoebox and indeed your newly-bought one will
eventually grow old gracefully with you very much inttact!
Enjoy the machines oh and the memories.
Tony

hi tony,
yes, i suppose it would drag up old memories, but isn't it funny how we take
some things for granted, the tape recorder has sat on my computer desk for 11
years now and it's just part of the furniture.
many thawnks

Hi Susan
Glad you got sorted. But that type of recorder certainly brings back great
memories.
Was very pleasantly surprised the last time I purchased a portable CD/Radio
to find it had a tape deck as well so maybe they are not obsolete just yet. It
was a Sony as well so maybe they are the last people manufacturing cassette
recorders. The model you got is still listed on their site at
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/dic-cassette/tcm-939
So maybe you can always get a spare.
Happy listening.
Tony

Susan I thought the RNIB sold tape recorders. Wonder if they sell that
one. Have you asked?

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

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.
