"It's kinda cool that they've done things properly".<br><br>What a damming indictment of modern design and manufacturing methods that is.

The only fact that it has an electric tape eraser head "and not a permanent magnet one" makes the boom-box better than the 95% of the trash out there.

Looks like it could well be the best modern boom box

Because of this teardown video, I will save up some money specifically for this model of Curtis boombox. I am so impressed by the build quality and attention to detail that I have to purchase a unit for myself. I do have proper working vintage boombox units and hifi tape decks from the 70s - 80s, that I've restored and love. But this modern Curtis model would be a lovely "daily driver" unit that I could see myself use and abuse a lot without worrying about brittle plastic and daily wear and tear. I'm completely sold and I just have to get one now! This teardown video, and the previous unboxing & review one are first class advertisement. We are rewind should link to them. Thanks for the informative videos, well done! Cheers 👍

I used to be an Engineering Manager for one of the big U.K. consumer electronics stores, I can’t believe they are using the same tapeI deck (apart from the erase head), that was in the cheapest of the cheap own brand radio cassette players over £30 years ago I used to fix hundred of the, due to them chewing up tapes, back them.

It also has a noise reduction circuit that emulates Dolby B

Very impressive build. I wish they had a heavier flywheel and thicker belt. But this works as well. I don't think I will put thousands of hours of use as I would on my Nakamichi. But wow! what a beautiful kit. I will buy it

Thanks for the teardown, just what I've been looking for. One nitpick, though: Speakers don't "have" Watts, and the specs of the speakers say nothing about the abilities of the amp (which is what counts).
