AWA CD-700 cassette deck (1976 - 1978)

This is my daily driver cassette deck and I absolutely love him he's so fucking gorgeous. Anyway. AWA stands for Amalgamated Wireless Australasia, and they were the holders of the Marconi patent for the Australian market - the legal permission to build radios, in general. Became quite wealthy, they sold a lot of home audio equipment, turntables, radios, TVs and the like. This particular cassette deck wasn't actually made in Australia - its a rebadge job, identical units have been sold around the world as Fairmate, Dart, Audiotronics and Grundig appliances, among others. I really love it - the sides are a gorgeous genuine wood, the faceplate is brushed steel, the buttons and switches are brilliantly heavy and clunky. It's a fairly simple unit - no dolby, the "Noise limiter" is a playback only system that sounds like shit, and this particular one has some difficulties fast forwarding and rewinding, and needs a bit of calibration
