I had a quick look and it's an Alba. A very typical mono cassette recorder of the seventies. I haven't had time to bother too much with it at this stage as I've been working on the tube radio all day. I was hoping it would be some simple problem so I quickly took it apart and can see nothing that evident. All wires seem intact. The speaker is still making some background hiss and the volume switch will increase that hiss as it's rotated. I might try taking a look at the plug sockets in case somehow it's been silenced. There's an earphone jack and the player was on its side when I was last recording, propped to my synth speakers. Could be something simple I that area.
The quality of recording hasn't been that great but it wasn't bad for recording practice sessions.
Amazingly, Murphy's Law was in full force as I'd grabbed another spare cassette player I had under my bed. No sooner did I press play and record, the play button snapped in half. It's now dangling way down in the chassis and will also need to be fixed.
I was thinking of a digital recorder mainly as it stores files and I'm told those pocket digital studios are quite amazing for their size.
Basically I make and record music. Some of it is psychedelic or maybe Rock and pop - even Jazz on occasions.
