JasonM has explained it well. I’d looked on YouTube and used a small nail secured in a monkey wrench. I can see a screwdriver getting knackered. I started using my expensive Rolex screwdriver but it wasn’t big enough to get the required grip and thought it would get damaged.
I took a chunk of skin off my thumb in the process! Good luck!!
I'd like to buy some cassettes but I have nothing to play them on.
Is it time for a Nakamichi Dragon after all these years...
BTW. The chap in this video needs to get out more.
No worse than us tbh
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I had one tape i played so much that it got so thin that you could hear the other side being played backwards whilst you were listening to it. Eeee them were the days
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I'm sure you'll remember those big black cases which could hold 30 or 40 cassettes. I had two of those filed with years worth of John Peel recordings, painstakingly recorded late at night with the great man's wit and some excellent reggae and blues. I leant them to some tit at uni, who walked off with them. Such a shame. TDK and Maxell... ;)
Yes, I remember my Pioneer HiFi had very quick auto-reverse decks. Not great for tape stretch!
I have an 80’s car and decided to keep the original tape deck, all tapes are based around the cars age 1987!!
Anyway are we thinking Argos is an AD or a grey dealer for these Casio’s.

Mine arrived today!
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Collected mine tonight and can’t complain...a good option when doing the garden and anything that risks damaging the Hulk.
Cheap watches can give as much pleasure. This one is superb value.

I had a £5 promotion voucher for Amazon if I spent over £25... was buying some garden hose anyway which was only £15... so what the heck.. just added one of these for net £9.99. I'm sure Ive spent worse tenners.
Just checked these and they're still on Amazon for £14.99 - it's also the subject of a Nick Shabazz review. He's always good value, like the watch.
It's a steel watch. At the price of a nato.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
What a bargain, had one of these as a kid! Nostalgia wave for £15. Done deal

I haven't been particularly careless but I've already put a scratch on my Casio Royale. The black bezel border is clearly painted cos the scratch to the bezel has revealed the grey plastic underneath. The clasp looks rather weathered now too. Wassabi innit. I don't own a Rolex at the minute but this is exactly why I wouldn't wear one day to day as and when I get another (SubC Date on order).
The Casio Royale has replaced my 5610 G-Shock as a daily wear as it has the advantage of displaying current time and count down timer simultaneously. I time music lessons every day.
I love a bit of wasabi on a watch. Gives it just that bit of character and makes one stand out from the crowd
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
What a bargain - I just might have to pick-up one! I think it would make a great beater for the summer.
I still dictate onto a tape at work. About an hour a week onto a MC 60
The NHS is not keen on progress. I even have a digital dictaphone for my private work, but it just doesn't have the haptic feedback of my trusty dicataphone.
Occasionally the tapes snap and I lose 30+ patients dictation. There is a swear jar for this.
Gosh, I've just Google'd it, and they were perfected (!) in the late 1960s. And we still use them in 2018

Bought it!
For 15£ it can only be good :D :D
C'mon David, you're saying they left all the stickers on!! Bet they kept the Guarantee papers and instruction book.
How about hang tags.?

Back up to full price now at Argos. I reserved one last night at the pre-rise price.
