Mamakos I also have one of these (it's *smaller* than the cassettes it plays, so they stick out like an overstuffed sandwich), and the FM stereo reception is amazingly good--clearly better than fromi the SONY radio/cassette walkperson. The only real problem is that it eats a pair of AAA cells in just a few cassettes worth of listening (the radio causes no significant drain). To get any prolonged portable use out of it, you have to plug in the pair of C cells pack which the Toshiba folks thoughtfully provide with the unit. The teeny, collapsible headphones provided are OK, but I found SONY phones much superior. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 30 Jun 85 [12 Messidor An CXCIII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7753 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!iwsl8!ken *** ***
