Sanyo M1950F Clock Radio Cassette Player

I've had this radio since about 1981. It still works well. It's much more viscerally satisfying to scroll through stations by turning the tuning knob, compared to modern radios with their seek and scan buttons. And it sounds just as good to me as my larger stereo receiver system does.

The clock display is blank in this video as the button battery went bad and I had to remove it. But after cleaning the battery compartment out and putting in a new battery, the clock still works too.

Do you still have any cassettes for it? I have a slightly newer boom box with cassette and cd, and clock/alarm, but the cd player has failed.

I still have a bunch of old cassettes that I had taped music to from the radio, but not any new/empty ones. (Unless we have a stash somewhere that I've forgotten about.) One of the cassettes, the last one I taped stuff to, may still be half empty.

I started on a project to convert my cassettes to MP3s a few years ago. Got a good amount done, but there's still a lot left. I haven't had time to continue.

I've had miserable luck with boombox cd-players too. That's always the first thing to break.

Now I'm thinking about a robotic cassette swapper, that takes a picture of each side of the cassette and stores that with the mp3.
