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...?🤣

Sic! That's a big plus. Which reminds me: I can actually record anything and everything from my computer as well. Sort of the opposite of digitizing. Analogizing? 🤣 Next question: can I just cat any data to my audio card and then record that data on these audio cassettes or do I need special equipment for that? 🤔

    You mean as magnetic tape storage on the cheap? 😄 Worth the try, but be prepared for some data degradation in the transfer?
