Review on Sony CFM 30TW Radio Cassette Recorder by Adam Nikolz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does what we want

It might not be the trendiest radio, and yes, the notch on the dial doesn't exactly match the radio station being played. However, we bought it because the cassette player has an auto shut off when the drum ends. We listen to old radio recordings (Jack Benny, Sam Spade, etc.) at night when we go to bed and when the radio turns off when the tape ends, it's perfect. Our other radio, the boom box, doesn't turn off at the end of the tape, so the playback mechanism runs all night until we turn it off the next morning. Bad for band or radio. Contrary to the other comment, we had no problems with the cassette's fast forward/rewind function. We seem to be fine.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Expensive
