Aiwa HS-RS250 Cassette Player (with Radio)

This is an AIWA cassette player (with radio), model HS-RS250.
Operation of the cassette tape and radio has been confirmed using two AA batteries.

As part of simple maintenance, tape speed has been checked (A tone 440Hz) and the magnetic head has been demagnetized (see photos 2 and 3).

Features and recommended points include:
The satisfying click when pressing the play button and the sound of rewinding create an atmosphere that modern digital devices lack.
Placing it on your desk and playing music in a calm atmosphere seems perfect for relaxing while working.
There is a slight noise, similar to the crackle of vinyl records, when playing cassettes. This has been intentionally left as is, contributing to a lo-fi and chill-pop impression.
The design is quite simple, and it adds a retro feel just by being placed somewhere.
