Just bought an audio cassette deck. Now, tell me why to keep it. 🤣
2 days ago by printf("%s", name); to c/techsupport
Update: aight, I'm keeping it. Check out my new next gen audio rig 3000:
I cleaned it out and it seems to work fine. The drive belts seem okay: not dry, but maybe a little loose, although the BPM of the music sounds about right. I paid $50 for it.
I have no bloody idea why I'd need it or would want to keep it. I just wanted to try it out, knowing that the store's policy is "no questions asked" if I return it within 30 days. Also, retro is fun...?🤣
Radiation would vaporise any data on those magnetic tapes, CDs otoh would if stored to prevent scratches.

That's a classic. I wouldn't be surprised if in a Fallout scenario those things would be found still working, amidst the rubble.
Why you should keep it? That rough sound from a tape has its own mystic. Akin to the vynil and vacuum tubes. And it can be a conversation starter.
