    And when was the last time you dubbed a compact cassette? (For me it was 2 hours ago)

      Whenever I get my cassette player to work again. I have to replace a gear, and I do have the replacement gear, but it’s turning out to be harder than expected. Luckily the manufacturer put a diagram of all bits and bobs with numbers and how they fit together in the device manual. It’s like a very complicated puzzle

        I think it’s pretty cool that they have user and service manuals. So you can actually fix it by yourself when you have the parts and tools to do so.

          Yeah exactly. But those must’ve been hard times for the shareholders. How can those poor hardworking shareholders ever earn money if you don’t buy new e-waste every 2 years?

          3D printing is also awesome. For this respective model there were already 3D models available for the gear that broke in mine. I don’t have a printer, but I was still easily able to order a 3D printed replacement gear

        They feel nice in the hand and sound good. Also it’s fun mixing them, designing jcards and labels.
