Review: Archaic AM/FM cassette plyer/recorder radio - I don't believe SONY makes these archaic cassette plyr./recorder radios anymore - - - based on the ridiculous high price a new one costs. That said, I'm glad to have been able to find one.
Review: A great little radio--too bad they stopped making it - What a wonderful little machine! It plays all of my old cassette tapes that I'm just not going to transfer to yet another media. (Yes, I have another cassette recorder to transfer internet material I wish to enjoy in another location.) It receives all of the National Weather Service frequencies--good all over the US, and it's free; just plug it in or keep fresh the 4 bay D batteries fresh enough--and they last a long time in this unit. Sadly, the teeeeeveeee channels it picks up now will disappear in early 2009--yet another group of folks misled by their worship of "advancing" technology. For now, it's nice to listen to all of the great PBS stuff while not being tied to the couch. This unit is ideal for the bathroom, kitchen or garage--and it's small enough to pack in your travel bag--really nice for all of those h/motels with NO radio, at all, or else the cheapest little (<1" speaker) clock radio. In a bind, you can listen to it's weather radio while driving--never could figure out why SAAB was the only car maker to have weather band on the car radio (of course, many trucker radios have this feature, too) Hey, maybe they'll make some more......

### ⭐⭐ No headphone jack
*by C***S on September 12, 2004*

I was sadly surprised to discover when I opened the box that this radio cassette recorder has no headphone jack. I didn't know any company still made radios that way! It went back to the store.
