Debunking the common myth that there's only one cassette mechanism being made anymore, that it's made/designed by Tanashin, and that it's the reason why nobody can make a good-sounding Walkman-style cassette tape player anymore.

    A delicious video. Your perspective always seems to be friendly and understanding towards the end user, even when pockets aren't deep, but still benefit from what is affordable. Your research is impressive, above and beyond, with a rare eye for detail. It is nice to experience things just how they are, without needing to judge them. Every product has its story, with people behind who mean well, try to get somewhere or just like to survive. Hope to see you soon again here on Peer Tube.
