Reminds me of taking apart Volkswagens. A lot of "what the <b>**</b> were they thinking when they built this thing!?" and a cheery service manual that simply says "installation is the reverse of disassembly".

After getting into cassettes, I realize that ease of service is a far more wonderful thing than exterior polish or even technical specs. A Dolby S deck that cant be serviced is just a deck you are leasing from the landfill.

Panasonic also made the MCS branded stuff (JC Pennys). I had the this same deck branded as MCS.

I used to have a seperates stereo system in the 80's. The tuner/amp was labled National-Panasonic, the tape deck was Technics-Panasonic, the CD was Technics and the turn-table was National. Hell of a mix-up, but sounded fantastic.

I've came across several of these at my workplace. Recently, in a bid to compete against most thrift stores, we started making anything in the DIY section $5, no matter what it is.
