Re: Timex Sinclair 1000/ZX81 Cassette Recorder Requirements
That Panasonic SlimLine would be good, except, like you said, loading original cassettes is problematic. Have you had experience with any cassette recorders in the less than $30 price range that have worked well-e.g. saved and loaded both programs you wrote and cassettes from the 80's? If so, what are they called?
Thanks

What I meant was, that recommended Sony one is on eBay in your price range.austinbot2000 wrote:I have been on eBay and I have seen loads of inexpensive tape recorders, but I don't know which one to get because the Timex Sinclair 1000 seems to be picky about what cassette recorder it uses. Would you recommend a good type of recorder (e.g. Panasonic Slimline, not just Panasonic.)
Thanks

I checked that Sony recorder--and it seems good, but it's pricey--$30 and up! Have any cassette recorders worked flawlessly for you and cost less? (as in about $20)
Re: Timex Sinclair 1000/ZX81 Cassette Recorder Requirements
LOL, I'm not making myself clear... the Sony one that was recommended is on eBay (several auctions) priced around £15 used. That's what I'm trying to say!
Edit: Oh I see, you're in the States? I'm sorry, I thought you kept saying it was £30 !

Is this the point where I speculate about what may happen if part of the UK (Scotland) splits and goes for independance, and then switches currency from GBP to Euros....
Now, what was the price? £15, or €19 or $26

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Haha Mark... well, some would hate a switch to the Euro (can't see that ever happening, personally) but the company I work for would make bucket loads out of consultants fees for "upgrading" our clients systems to deal with it!

I thought there might be a problem with the whole pounds to dollars thing... Not a problem though (this forum is UK based... But anyways, have you (or any other ZX81/TimexSinclair1000 owner) had any good experiences with tape recorders that have worked flawlessly and cost 20 to 24 US Dollars?
Thanks (not a problem about the whole pounds thing--i guess there was a misunderstanding!

I have a Memorex MB1055 that I use to load my TS1000 tapes such as Super Maze. As long as the volume is at 3/4 full volume I have very little problems loading. I haven't tried recording on it yet so I don't know if it'll handle that. I see the Memorex once in awhile on EBay and Amazon for $14.99-$19.99 US Dollars .

Re: Timex Sinclair 1000/ZX81 Cassette Recorder Requirements
Sounds like a great tape recorder to get! It's not that common on eBay though... Can you recommend a "shoebox" style recorder that has worked for you?
Thanks so much to everyone for helping a beginner out.

Has anyone tried the Philips cassette recorder that's in the Argos catalogue?
