My Sony CFD-SO1 Boombox

Here's a video demonstrating a little boombox I picked up for the kitchen. It has some cool features for a relatively low end machine.

@BadEditPro: does this machine records in AC or DC bias ?

[BadEditPro]

@HamtaroEL I'm not all that sure. It's either really good DC bias or sort of mediocre DC. It actually sounds quite good, though. :) JC

real neat machine.

There was a brand over here in eh UK called Goodmans. Goodmans are a very cheap make, but on all there units like this they have a built in microphone on them. I miss the microphone - your unit looks like it is built real well :)

@m134mr Thanks! it doesn't get a whole lot of use but this one has held up very well so far. :) JC

is there any real DISadvantage to using a "stoppage arm"? does it wear down the tape faster because that thing's rubbing it?

[BadEditPro]

Thanks for the comments. I don't think there is an increased amount of tape ware from the "stoppage arm." However, it usually means the machine will not auto stop in fast-forward or rewind mode. This system only works when the machine is in play or record. :) JC

@BadEditPro: Did you check what type of erase head it uses ?

[HamtaroEL]

@BadEditPro: I've seen these radios in my old club and school. There are 2 versions, one is an mp3 cd compatible read whereas the other one isn't and also one is 11 watts and the other is 12 watts. Is yours an 11 or 12 watts ?
