A pretty little cassette recorder kit. Comes in a nice case, with speakers, a dynamic, stereo mic. (F-99S), and stand.

The Microphone has a bit of an odd plug though: two 3.5mm jacks, plus a smaller one in between that says it's for 'remote'. [[yt>xD86B8FMPog|This video has it wired up normally]], and there's a comment with advice: 'Simple solution: 1- ignore the middle pin, 2- use P2 to P10 adapter for each channel, 3 -> mixer, 4. Pan L and R for each channel and done!! Amazing Vintage Stereo sound!'.\\ So I guess you just ignore the middle pin. I thought I tried that, but I'll have to give it another shot. | The Microphone has a bit of an odd plug though: two 3.5mm jacks, plus a smaller one in between that says it's for 'remote'.
