"Since these were throway items finding one in nice condition like that must be rare indeed."
Even more so as it was on one of those house clearance stalls. I have bought off him before and he does tend to look after his stock, and prevent it from rattling and scraping around on the floor of his van.
The quality is very good. I would say that on a pre-recorded tape the audio quality is almost as good as any medium sized FM radio, certainly better than an AM radio of comparable size.
I tested recording with the microphone and it was surprisingly sensitive and sounded very clear.
The tonal quality of ITT products is well designed, as good as the other German designed and Japan made radios and audio..
It seems better than what I remember of my Crown cassette recorder I had in the late 60's. I can remember comparing my Crown recorder with a Philips one and the Philips sounded much nicer.
For their time these were good quality recorders, they retailed for nearly £31, almost £518 in today's money.
