Panasonic RX-FT5 Double Radio Cassette Recorder with 2 Microphone Jacks

This is a Panasonic cassette radio, model number RX-FT53. It is not a CD radio cassette player.
It is a type with two cassette decks and can dub cassette tapes, although it is no longer used.
Both cassette tape sides play, record, fast-forward, and rewind without any issues. You'll be surprised at how good the sound quality of this cassette tape deck is.
It has a built-in microphone and recording works without problems. In the past, I used this cassette radio to record my grandchildren's voices onto cassette tapes to send to my parents, who were only familiar with analog.
What's unusual is that it has two microphone jacks, allowing for stereo recording with two microphones connected. This would be great for those who enjoy recording musical instruments like guitars or keyboards. I used the double cassette feature to overdub guitar recordings, layering sounds to create original cassette tapes and enjoy multi-track guitar performances by myself.
It receives AM and FM radio. Since it supports AM stereo broadcasting, you should be able to experience AM stereo if you can receive stations like CBC Radio in Nagoya, Radio Osaka in Osaka, or WAKAYAMA BROADCASTING CORPORATION. Unfortunately, Nippon Broadcasting System in the Tokyo area has discontinued AM stereo, so it can no longer be heard.
Although I haven't tried it, it should also work with dry batteries. It's clean for its age.
