I have one of these too, got it on Friday from a thrift store for $10. I uploaded a video if anyone's interested. Fantastic quality, to be honest I wasn't expecting all that much from a Sanyo, but it's great! One of the highest quality players i've ever owned, and that's quite a few.

I have the same exact unit. Found it at a thrift store yesterday.Cost me only $4.99 + tax.
I love it! They don't make them like this anymore. The quality is superb. I have several decks(a dozen or so), and this is one of my favorites. Great video!

This is EXACTLY the same make & model I had when I was a teenager back in 79-80!!!! I'd love to get another unit identical to this to help rebuild my original 1st stereo system!!!! Many thanks for sharing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Why do people keep saying a tape hisses when its really not the tape that hisses. Next time try playing a deck without inserting a tape in it and you'll hear the same noise produced by the deck itself and not the tape.Another problem is most and latest low end tape players now use a magnet to erase a tape instead of a erase head. Causing it to record that harsh hissing noise from the erase magnet itself. I use decks that dont produce hissing sound and my tapes sound loud and clear.

Compact cassette is the best format ever invented for music storage. They last for generations. And they came out with so many unique styles and designs over the years. I still use this format today on a daily basis. I got this nice loud sound system that I bought for my truck and the tape sounds amazing on it. I can fully function and program it with a remote.And it Sounds much better than a freaking CD.

Yeah, It's just getting hard to find another good deck. I can't make good recordings with this unit anymore. The high frequencies all come out distorted. It might need new capacitors or something.
