    Yep, that same old BSR mechanism that was invented in the mid-80s. Decent casette players use Tanashin mechanisms (or clones rather since Tanashin itself doesn’t make them anymore AFAIK) and as long as they have metal flywheels and proper erase heads they’re ok.

    Forget about 3-Head Closed Loop Dual Capstan, though, you’re never gonna find that on a modern deck.
