What did portable tape look like around 1990?
Around 1990 the pocket cassette had matured. Auto-reverse, bass-boost switches and slim metal bodies were common, and tape formulations had improved enough that a dubbed copy sounded decent. Many people kept a deck at home and a pocket player for the bus. Portable CD players existed, though they were still pricey and jumpy over bumps.
What do you see on the V760?
The upper half is a see-through mechanism block: an acrylic frame, beige key sliders, black levers, a brass spring and a copper ribbon. Underneath sits a black cassette with a golden label and a narrow window. White hubs show through it.
As in the other tape machines, the reel packs are animated, so the hubs turn at slightly different rates as tape moves from one to the other.

Which sound settings fit the V760?
Think of a well-kept 1990 tape. Use saturation at medium, wobble low and hiss barely there. The Warm equalizer preset takes the edge off digital rips, and Bass helps older hip-hop and rock tracks. If you like the wobble, push it up a notch for a worn-belt feel.
Is the 1990 Cassette Player free or PRO?
The V760 suits anyone who likes the brass-and-clear look. It is one of the 8 free machines, so you can install REWIND, import your files and play on it without buying anything. Analog sound and the equalizer are free on every machine, including this one.
