cheap-but-good-1980s-ge-cassette
Appearances can be deceiving. This General Electric cassette recorder has very good performance, despite its very inexpensive design and total lack of frills.

8-TRA
8-track-cassette-in-the-same-player-1976
A failed truce in the 1970s battle between cassette tapes and 8-track cartridges: a player which can accept both formats in the same slot. Impossible? Not according to Soundesign, which achieved this feat in their 4645B stereo system in 1976.

january-2014-thrift-store-adventure
Some interesting items seen at my local thrift store this past month. I didn't buy anything shown here. The near-lifesize Miata poster was amusing, but probably wouldn't have fit in my car to bring it home, and the oscilliscope probably was a good deal for the price, but I already have one that works fine.

A CHE
a-cheap-usb-cassette-deck-that-actually
Another Non-Audiophile-Approved equipment review -- this time of a USB cassette deck whose sound quality really surprised me, in a good way: the Grace Tape2USB and Tape2USB II, also sold as the Plexgear Soundsaver.

WASHI
washington-dc-metro-takeoff-whine
The electric propulsion system on the Washington, DC metro subway trains makes a very cool whistle or whine noise as it brings the motors up to speed. Also, the red lights along the track pulsate when a train is approaching. These used to be white light bulbs which would flash much more noticeably, but now they are all red LEDs to save energy and reduce maintenance.

amazonbasics-usb-keyboard-mouse-review
I'm not a fan of chiclet-style keyboards, but this one is surprisingly good, with a nice tactile feel -- although its glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet. The mouse also works well but its high resolution (1000 DPI) may make it too fast unless you can turn down the sensitivity.

SHORT
shortwave-radio-from-mars
A recording of an unknown shortwave radio station playing Jeff Wayne's musical version of "The War of the Worlds", as received on a Realistic DX-390 (rebadged Sangean ATS-818), in 1996. The shortwave fading effect makes it sound even more creepy.

NINTE
nintendo-toploader-nes2-console-pinball
This is the redesigned NES from the early '90s, also known as the Toploader or NES2. It is smaller and more reliable than the original NES, but lacks the A/V outputs. It also lacks the 10NES lockout chip, so you can play bootleg or Japanese Famicom (with an adapter) games without any problems. I demonstrate it using the only game I have so far, Pinball.
