From the seller
Here we have a Sony cassette recorder that I have modified. I added a wide range motor speed control that changes the tape playback speed effecting the pitch of whatever is being played. I had to remove the counter and AC transformer to make room for the mods.
I serviced the unit (cleaned the head, pinch roller, and replaced the belts), and confirmed that everything else works properly. It runs on 4 C batteries. It has a mono 1/8th inch output, and a 1/8 inch input that mutes the internal microphone.

As a special bonus I will include a free Tape Loop.

Nearly all of the things I make are up-cycled, recycled or repurposed. Through circuit bending, modifying, etc I try to make new, and interesting creations out of things that might have ended up in a landfill. That being said most items will have the character of being previously owned and loved (dents, scuffs, scratches etc).
