A London cassette called Great Puccini Arias on a $2 Akai HX-2 I got from auction leftovers and didn't have a lot of hope for but the deck turned out to be AWESOME.
Through a Pioneer SX-580 I also got for $2 as a leftover that needs some FM work and slight pot cleaning (no scratches, just a channel drop out) that will be my Pay It Forward to A TH member (Freddy1) for helping some other TH member beyond the call and he never has owned an SX! I was going to give him an SX-6000 but it had a lot of things to do and I was held up a while. I need to figure out the problems as the tuning doesn't lock in stereo well and the center tune doesn't deviate but AM strength works okay.
I believe that Dorma Nessi? just ended, it wasn't the Pavarotti version but it sounded great, in Dolby B even. There was an Ampex 370 with religious music in the tape well so I think I have a case and J card for it too.
I'll post pics of both in their places now.
