Company details
Written by the company
For 20 years we have been passionate about 80’s radio tape recorders Made in Japan. And now we are glad to present you our shop of technology from the 80s. Our main goal and task is to return to that mysterious past through a radio tape recorder. It is so nice to remember the past years, when there were queues in “Beriozka” and thrift stores for such a radio tape recorder. When it was cooler to have such a radio tape recorder than to own a car today. In terms of workmanship and design, Japanese radio tape recorders have not been equal until now. It is with great pleasure that we present for you the exhibition of radio tape recorders from the 80s. Being a kind of symbol of the “golden” era of audio technology, radio tape recorders are the main, but not the only area of specialization of our store. Its assortment also includes produced in the last quarter of the last century block components, reel tape recorders, radios, cassette players as well as matching audio accessories.

A great experience!
Great communication, impressive packaging for my super heavy boombox (Sharp VZ-V20R). Some of you might know the weight and size of this gigantic piece of equipment!

Glad to know this web store
Very prompt shipment and email reply was clear and kind.
I bought a manual written in Japanese, which I hadn't found neither physical one nor on the company's website (like pdf etc.) in Japan, my country.
Therefore, I was so glad and grateful.

Thanks very much Micheal 👌
The radio cassette player was in very good !
The radio cassette player was in very good condition, exactly as he described it. And upon delivery he stayed with me until delivery. He packaged the radio very well. It was so good that I had a hard time opening it. I would definitely buy from him again. I highly recommend it!

Lacking in quality
The manual was ok but when I contacted the seller to explain that some of the information was not as advertised I only got a "sorry" which was very disappointing.

Quick service
Quick service, well packed and good quality items. Royal Mail let both parties down by mislaying my package for over 10 days, which soured the overall experience unfortunately but no reflection on the seller. 5*

Paid a premium. Recieved a cheap sticker that doesn't resemble the sticker shown on the site. Emailed them to advise I'm not happy. No response to date.
