New toy

Here is my new beauty (Realistic TR-802). Fabulous condition. Electronic in pristine state. Everything works perfectly. I just had to change the plastic mount for the magnetic head, realign the crosstalk and it's like new.

I get it's not as fancy as a Pioneer or a Wollensak, but all these options: Fast forward, eject button, repeat, pause etc. The combo of stop after each and fast forward can be used as a rewind. I just love it. And that late 70s brown and orange esthetic is totally irresistible 🤣

Next step is of course recording Playlists on 8-track...
