We Are Rewind’s self-consciously retro Cassette Player is designed to tap into our ongoing obsession for analogue formats. Just the thing for your mixtape 2022?
There are variants to the mechanism, you can get one with auto reverse or without, record or playback-only, different quality motors, different heads etc. But the basis is the same, and so the quality ceiling is very low.
Also keep in mind this is a hipster device, so taking out something like auto reverse can be meant to invoke even more “retro” feeling or something.
Same thing like with modern film cameras or vinyl players, they’re just a novelty only functional to the bare minimum level on par with the cheapest, crappiest machine from the past.
And you can sell a device with $5 worth of parts for a couple hundreds as a hipster novelty piece.

(Nothing wrong with being a hipster btw.)
