【Introduction】 National Radio Cassette Recorder RX-1540. It has been maintained, repaired, tested, and cleaned. A standard class model from 1981. Recommended for those considering a vintage radio cassette recorder for the first time. It is equipped with a woofer and tweeter, which were standard for this era, and also features an automatic stop function at the end of the tape. With proper maintenance, it has sufficient performance for listening to cassettes and radio. However, the internal construction is low-cost, which is a drawback. Speed adjustment is analog, the drive system uses plastic gears, and the restoration of the shut-off mechanism, etc., makes fine adjustments personally difficult, and it takes more time for inspection and maintenance than higher-end models. Certainly, it wasn't a class that pursued high sound quality at the time of release, nor is it a famous model, but it's ultimately an audio device. I feel that if it's good for the user, then that's the best thing. ※ The price has been reduced because there are some chrome repair marks on the exterior speaker grille.
