I had a 30% off coupon for a local thrift shop, so I went in and walked out with this lot.

I only needed a printer, to be honest, but I just couldn't leave the little cassette deck there. It's mint. And yes, it works perfectly. Not only that, when looking for a tape to test it with in-store, I spotted this copy of No Jacket Required. Bonus score! Less than twenty bucks for this lot.
The Samsung is nearly new and still has ~2/3 of its toner left. I'm guessing it's on the original cartridge.

^^ no date code that I can decipher, anyone have any idea when this was made?

The Phil Collins tape is a bit beaten up, but the jacket (hah!) is in good shape. It plays okay except for one track on side B where the tape is stretched.
Also grabbed a couple interesting CDs... Did you know the composer for Cowboy Bebop did a concept album about robots? Well she did, and now you do. I have no idea who that album in Russian / Cyrillic is but I liked the design & the fonts. 😜 (That's pretty much my criteria for picking an album up for 50 cents.) Some good pop-y tracks on there.
Maybe we should have a 'bought this (retro) music today' thread...
