Review on Hamilton Buhl D132 Classroom Cassette Player - 2 Station, 1 Watt (HA802) by Mike Carter

Very disappointed with this product. Recorded and played back sounded good. Trouble is, he rarely did! Sometimes it was excellently recorded and reproduced. Next time it didn't work. Or he recorded it but played it back later! When using an external microphone or the built-in microphone, you must be very close to the microphone or it will be lost completely. I've been using cassette players for years with no problems and ordered this recorder via expedited shipping. Came without a protective case, just in a box, it might have been damaged in transit. However, I sent it back and would definitely not recommend this product. Unfortunately, they don't seem to know how to make them anymore.
