 CA>     I'm curious.  What Walkman has the above split?  Usually the FM
 CA> memories is a multiple of the AM, would be 21 in this case.
The nicest layout for memories was this Panasonic unit that
unfortunatly, suffered a fall and several tape motion buttons flew off.
:-)  But it had a killer tuner.  There are 3 "direct access" memory
buttons (3am, 3fm) and then another button to "cycle" through another
bank of 4 memories, and to add to that, the whole thing was repeated in
a "mode 2" setting, so each "mode" held 14 memories total, for a total
of 28.  Nothing has come close in operational ease.  Too bad it felt
and worked like a cheapie tape player though.  But that tuner...  I can
stand outside our place, facing the Y95 tower and it didn't overload,
everything else does, and that's with the DX/Local switch set to DX...
:-)  I gotta take this thing apart and fix the volume as it's gone
weird and is at a fixed setting... Uh... full volume...  Not quite what
I need... :)
 CA>     Auto reverse selectable between repeat and stop after playing once.
 CA> Very sturdy, I've had mine for about two years and it does yeoman's
 CA> service when I play high bias tapes.
Thanks!
 CA>     I just recently replaced an Aiwa AD 3800U which has served me well
 CA> for 17 years.  And it's still going strong as part of the system in the
 CA> basement where my BBS computer is.
I'm using an AIWA AD-F990 3 head cassette deck.  The flutter is now
just becoming bothersome.  I'd love to restore the tape motion to
original specs.  Nothing today comes close for cassettes that I'm
currently aware of.  No head wear seen either.  Sounds like new
otherwise.
 CA>     It's the only one I found with Dolby C...
Aiwa did have a tape player once that had C, and it was expensive up
here.  Sounded great though, no tuner.
