A Classic '80s General Electric radio-cassette recorder.

It's a nice unit, but sadly DC bias, but it does record good. A genuine icon of the '80s, couldn't you see this in some garage blasting out '80s music from cassettes recorded with this machine? Model 3-5247A.

Hi CassetteMaster :), not sure if you saw my videos recently but I have two of these units and they both work. These are a classic with awsome sound and even cosmetically they are in good shape too. The one has a slightly broken handle but works well. The other one has a slight problem on FM mode where it shuts off but the tape section and AM work well. Even the recchargable battery on the 2nd unit has some life left in it which is very suprising for its age.

looks like one I had in 1973 that was my only entertainment in my furnished room in Boston, MA.......I taped many shows from WBCN and also Larry Glick show from WBZ......I wish I had the tapes still......these babies gave so much pleasure to many of us that are now in our 40's and 50's.....these machines meant a lot

Mr Casette Master, I think I've deciphered the General Electric electronics date code. The decade is your guess. We both know that unit is from the '80's I believe that is 1984. The second character is the year.

That built in rechargeable battery is a great idea...until it dies and / or leaks inside the radio. Still looks like a very nice unit with a lot of features and good sound. I don't ever recall seeing one like it.

I've seen that external mic in a couple of your vids. It looks like the mic included with the Sony 105. I'm just curious if I'm right..I like your vids.

It is the same type that comes with the Sony TC-105A.

It doesn't have noise reduction but it does have bass and treble controls.
