LOL ... I dont think this is happening. Well by late 80s precision was mostly dominated by the quality of the motor. Proof of that are all the Yamaha and JVC deck with plastic flywheel able to maintain W&F better than 0.8. Motors got so perfect that they could deliver "constant torque" over a certain range. But, as they are not enterely closed loop circuits, they suffer from ageing. This is the second part they got perfected. Unfortunatly the 3 or 4 well known brand that have been manufacturing this motors for tape decks, are not longer producing them. Also, people interested on trying it again should take notes on simple mechanisms that were still low W&F, long life and just a bit more complicated than the average cheap tamashin thing, The ones used y JVC Hitachi Fisher on the bottom line soft touch decks. I think this is good enough to selll the ilusion of a "cassette come back"

@@richarda3659, don't be boringly rigid and 100% literal, Richard. They're spectacular compared to all other suitcase speakers I've ever heard and when listening to this video with my Sony SS-CS5's (or my Bowers & Wilkins speakers, etc.), I was genuinely impressed by just how great those suitcase speakers sounded and naturally, using external speakers will greatly improve the sound. Perhaps "spectacular" is a bit of an exaggeration, but I could listen to those suitcase speakers for hours with no fatigue issues (with no urge at all to chuck the player in the garbage or take a baseball bat to it) and I can't say that about standard tinny or anemic-sounding suitcase speakers out there. :)

The RCA line-out in the back is OK for hooking up to a computer if you want to record a record to digital, but they could've also added a USB line-out "for" computers if you wanna go that route.

Absolutely perfect. it was speeding up and slowing down, easily visible and audible. Not much you can do about it at this price point; the DC motor needs some sort of servo device attached to the motor otherwise the motor keeps on accelerating, that's why better belters use synchronous motors with a lot of poles. The speaker isolation was a cheap way to sort of, I repeat sort of isolate them from the cabinet which basically makes them free air. Better if the platter was isolated and the box sealed or ported.
