I was in my nearby thrift shop today and saw this little toy for cheap. It's in minty condition all around and sounds great. Nice little quick reverse deck with a motorized door, fully remote, Dolby B, C and HX Pro. Linear and time counter, cassette stabilizer, back light, AMS etc. All working perfectly. I programmed it into my Logitech universal and discovered that I can turn off the meter display or meters and counter (whole display) as well.

My first Sony. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the sound. A little brighter than I'm used to but very clear. Records very nicely as well. I really couldn't find much on the web about this one although I haven't had time to check the posts here. If anyone knows anything about this deck please let me know. I figure it's mid 90's? vintage . . .

Love the motorized door. Especially when I operate it remotely . . . fun fun.

Sweet. That's a nice deck. Sony always did know what they were doing in tape decks.
