  <title>Tape victory!</title>
  <link>https://thispatternismine.dreamwidth.org/67279.html</link>
  <description>Wandered down to a local event (basically an artisan/independent market with some entertainment), expecting I&apos;d that I&apos;d just wander round, maybe buy a brownie or two, maybe a lip balm because there was supposed to be a seller there who made them &amp; I need some. The lip balm seller wasn&apos;t there, but I got a mug I&apos;d been eyeing up at previous markets for half price (&amp; it was £10 so that was a bargain). And there was a vintage stall in a separate room that I&apos;m not sure was part of the same event that had cassette tapes! There were a few good ones, but at £2 that adds up if you&apos;re buying a couple, &amp; most of them were good as in &apos;I kinda like the artist &amp; it&apos;s a decent album I guess but I ain&apos;t exactly desperate&apos;. Apparently they have a store, in a town that&apos;s not that far away, but I&apos;ve never had reason to go there, so I&apos;ll go after christmas &amp; see what their full selection is like, since I doubt they brought everything. I did buy a Queen greatest hits album, because there&apos;s just banger after banger with no dud tracks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=thispatternismine&amp;ditemid=67279&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Look at what I picked up in a charity shop today!!</title>

&lt;br&gt;It&apos;s a Sony CFS-W301L, late 80s (funnily enough I guessed 1987-ish &amp; some googling of the model number tells me &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/sony_fmmwlwsw_cassette_corder_cfs_w301l.html&quot;&gt;Radio Museum&lt;/a&gt; agrees with me &amp; I was able to find &lt;a href=&quot;https://elektrotanya.com/sony_cfs-w301.pdf/download.html&quot;&gt;the manual&lt;/a&gt; which also suggests I&apos;m correct so, like, yes!)

&lt;p&gt;It only cost me £5!

&lt;p&gt;Look at these beautiful tactile buttons!

&lt;p&gt;It&apos;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
&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://64.media.tumblr.com/b0759ffa26a853532e4647ed57f31f67/21b6ea1ebd005c78-c2/s2048x3072/98e28f6f2ff48add80ea57ae4d0aef64b30539cf.jpg&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They say they tested the tape player working in the shop, but I don&apos;t have any tapes atm, so I&apos;ll have to get some. Considering it needed a bit of cleaning externally, the tape heads will probably need cleaning, so I&apos;ll see if I can get a cleaning cassette as well
