4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good product at a reasonable price, February 20, 2003

This tape recorder is perfect for recording class lectures or conducting field interviews for academic purposes. The only thing you have to watch is make sure you have it on the right tape speed. You have to use the higher quality speed if you want to hear anything in a classroom setting. If the speaker is close and you only want the lecture and none of the student comments or you are conducting an interview both speeds are fine. Overall a very fine purchase

Right size,right weight,exceptional mic pick-up.Playback clear and distinct.Good volume.Having not purchased such a device in many years,I overlooked not insuring an "auto-reverse" feature.Rewind also exceptionally "slow". Then again,for the price, not much argument to be made.
