I've been using these old analog Panasonic Micro cassette recorders for decades, and have found them to be inexpensive, but with high quality guts, and they are bulletproof. They built things to last back then, and I have some of these that are 40 years old and still work like the day they were made. And they age well when stored right. Sure, now there are digital voice recorder apps, and digital pocket recorders that are smaller. But there is something just still "perfect" about these old recorders when it comes to certain jobs because they do stuff that digital stuff can't - Like the fast forward 'review and preview' to more easily replay something. And lets not forget the ability to record in the slow mode and play back in fast mode, to make everyone sound like Alvin the Chipmunk ! For ghost hunting they are really good, as the poor old spirits seem to like tape over digital when you are doing EVP work.
I've tried a bunch of brands, but really like this one by Panasonic the best.
Thank you so much! This mini cassette recorder is exactly what I was looking for & it works beautifully!! Small & compact, records well, playback is really good, truly new out of the box!
