Look at what I picked up in a charity shop today!!

It's a Sony CFS-W301L, late 80s (funnily enough I guessed 1987-ish & some googling of the model number tells me Radio Museum agrees with me & I was able to find the manual which also suggests I'm correct so, like, yes!)

It only cost me £5!

Look at these beautiful tactile buttons!

It's a bit scraped on the front, but eh whatever if I decide I fancy listening to a long or medium wave station, I can still figure out tuning the radio even without being able to see the frequencies properly

They say they tested the tape player working in the shop, but I don't have any tapes atm, so I'll have to get some. Considering it needed a bit of cleaning externally, the tape heads will probably need cleaning, so I'll see if I can get a cleaning cassette as well
