Review: MICRO RECORDER - IT ARRIVED ON TIME AND WORKS WELL/
Review: Nothing worked Just threw the darn thing away - What I received was less than satisfactory. Basically, it was junk, and I just threw it away, nothing worked. It wouldn't let you open the door to where the tape goes, and therefore you couldn't change tapes. Or if it wanted to it would gobble up tapes. The three main buttons, any one of the three would sometimes get jammed.

### ⭐ Nothing worked Just threw the darn thing away

What I received was less than satisfactory. Basically, it was junk, and I just threw it away, nothing worked. It wouldn't let you open the door to where the tape goes, and therefore you couldn't change tapes. Or if it wanted to it would gobble up tapes. The three main buttons, any one of the three would sometimes get jammed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Analog recording
*by V***D on July 10, 2022*

Ask me why I need analog recording device ; certain audio products and distributeables need to be analog and on tape . In addition - I can keep certain audio recordings off the net . So its pretty hard to hack - Got mine today . I tested it out . Seems okay , no scratches or dings I could find . It already had batteries in it and a tape . The tape had been previously recorded on - some test recording and a lecture I could not make out clearly . Also , it came wrapped in a frak load of bubble wrap ; it took me 5 minutes to release it . This IS a used item . I get that . I however would have liked to have seen it in box , with batteries not in it and with clean tape . Nevertheless , it seems to be in working order. Should work fine for my purpose.
