Summary: Lacks one important connector: motor-control plug
Review: I've been pulling my hair trying to find a cassette recorder with two features:

-Auto-reverse
-Pause-control plug (for microphones with a record/pause switch).

So far, all auto-reverse models I found lack this plug.
The only currently produced tape recorder I was able to find with a "pause control" (aka Mic remote control) plug next to the mic-in is the Casio TP-7, but it lacks a motor/pause control plug.

This is a note to manufacturers, why remove a useful feature for those of us who like control the recording from the mic, or use it to record phone calls (with a third party automatic recording control that starts the recording when the phone is in use)?.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Wow! I cannot say enough about the features that are on this recorder. Every thing that I can ask for in a hand held full size cassett recorder / player. The variable speed is excellent for long lectures or events. On a standard 90 minute tape you can set the recorder at half speed and get 3 hours on it! Good quality play back, voice activated, tape counter, mic / phone jacks, AC/DC, etc. My only concern is the long term quality - made in China verses Japan. For the money impossible to beat this deal. So good that my wife took it away and uses it!
