               I bought  an AIWA  HS-J400 AM/FM  Stereo  Cassette
          Recorder ($129.95 at 47st Photo 1-800-221-7774).  It is
          slightly bigger than a cassette tape with a  tremendous
          sound!   I also  bought AIWA's  speakers (w/  built  in
          amps).  They  sound a  little tinny, but  for $65  they
          aren't bad.

               The nice thing about the AIWA deck is the size and
          the sound.  I  think you'll find it  to be well  built,
          and competetively priced.  I love it!  Good luck...
