ACBMemphis's video: Sanyo Stereo Cassette Deck 1981 Model RD S45

This Sanyo Cassette deck looks great, even though it is not as well-built as other brands of the day we've reviewed such as Pioneer. However, it's not so much "cheap" just "budget" and you can tell the features included were carefully selected. It's a great basic deck and has some features which you would not find in newer and more expensive decks years later. Positives include music search, nice level meters, output level, and of course metal tape support. Negatives include "soft touch" control performance and a flimsy box. 0:00 Intro to the Sanyo 0:25 Main Feature 0:42 Tape Type Talk 1:08 Metal formulation (and content) 1:47 Manual Settings in the 1970s 2:02 Automatic Detection in the 1980s 2:25 Tape Type Barely Mentioned in the 1990s 2:37 No text or indicators the 2000s 2:50 Not type really Bias and EQ 3:35 Repairs: Tighten the belt 3:50 Metal tapes, but a Cardboard box 4:25 Recording problems 4:50 An easy fix? 5:33 Sanyo: A Budget Brand 5:52 Bad Translation 6:13 These Features Age like a fine wine... 6:35 Unique Cassette Door Pivot 6:50 Fine bias adjustment 7:15 Bias adjustment demo 7:49 Conclusion + Subscription begging If you are interested in the other tape decks mentioned in this video, here are links to some of those videos: JVC KD-A3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFG0H2e2kUU Teac R-555: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLVbMzyCePM Sony TC-WE435: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5_bPO-A1wU Radio Shack SCP-25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KSGkAZsbjk
