Growing up in the 50's was a lot of fun. Swing was evolving to something a little edgier called Rock 'n Roll. Buddy Holly and Elvis ruled the lives of young Americans. My parents had this beautiful, wood record-player and radio combination a whole lot like the TEAC Nostalgia GF-680, and when my friends came over we grooved endlessly to our favorite "licorice platters" and Rock radio stations! Main features include: Bass Boost System 3 Preset EQ (Rock, Pop, Classic) 2-Way Speaker System 45 RPM Adapter & Remote Included Output Power - 15W x 2 Speakers - 5.25 Woofer, 2 Tweeter Dimensions - 35.1H x 15.4W x 14.9D Weight - 43.17

User Comments about the Teac GF-680 Console Stereo with 3-CD Changer, Turntable, Cassette Deck, and AM/FM Tuner

I purchased a second one and the tape player worked for about a dozen go rounds. The device then developed other intermitent problems. Not possible to have such thing repaired locally and the cost of shipping it back to Sony in CA along with repair costs are prohibitive so it's in the basement awaiting the next bulk trash pickup.All this said I guess I will buy another one because it does serve it's purpose. Follow-up: This one works perfectly. Would like the ability to control bass/treble independently rather than presets for sound patterns.I purchased one of these 2 years ago and had to return it as the tapes didn't work. I just hope the next one last more than two years.
However a model with seperate bass and treble controls would fit the bill. The Teac GF-680 is good for the price. A upgrade model would give it 5 stars.
it's easy to operate and has superb sound. Very satisfied with the Teac GF-680. One minor problem is that the cassette function symbols are difficult to read because of their location.
Also, the controls on the front are hard to read. You need to crouch down and use a flashlight if it's in a dark corner of a room. The plus is that it comes with a remote, but I chose to memorize the controls. This stereo is great for anyone with a vintage style decor. Everything works really well, although I will probably add some very small external speakers to project the sound a little better. But for anyone that doesn't want a modern stereo sticking out like a sore thumb amongst their antiques and collectables, the small hassle is well worth it.
Looks good and sounds great. Perfect for the 40+years person who no longers needs the big component stereo to blast their music throughout the neighborhood and just wants to listen to their music and match a non-hi-tec decor.
