Editorial Reviews:

The 1930's were an age of lost innocence with a redefinition of wealth as people struggled to survive the depression and public works projects launched civilization further into the 20th century. The rumbling beginnings that would lead to World War II were beyond the horizon of life in the USA. Music was the thing and swing was king on radio waves and records. Teac GF-290 Nostalgia Stereo System is reminiscent of that period of the 20th century but also adds a CD and Cassette player. Rotary volume control with on/off Function selector Requires 120V AC, 60Hz USA Plug (power cord included) Size WHD - 17.37 x 10.25 x 13.66 Weighs - 18.8 pounds

User Comments about the Teac GF-290 Nostalgic Console Stereo with CD Player, Cassette Deck, Turntable, and AM/FM Tuner

The sound quality is poor because of cheap, small speakers; radio tuning isvery difficult because of problem turning dial, there also seems to be a humduring LP playing(it's also too bad phono doesn't include a record changer); there are no treble/bass adjustments. Probably OK for kids or for people whodon't care much about quality of audio.

AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS THE CASSETTE RECORDER AND THE CD PLAYER WENT BAD. HERE LATELY THE POWER SWITCH DIED. WE HAD THE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE OF BUYING A VERY SIMILAR UNIT, THE GF-600. CRIMINAL CHARGES OUGHT TO BE LEVELED FOR PEDALLING JUNK LIKE THIS.BTW, I CHALLENGE TEAC TO CALL ME AND MAKE IT RIGHT - 703-878-8952 - I'LL BET THEY WON'T.I ALSO INTEND TO DISCOURAGE ALL MY FRIENDS FROM PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM TEAC, AND i WISH TEAC AN EARLY BANKRUPTCY.LIKE I SAID IN THE TITLE, SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A GOOD BRAND LIKE A SONY - THEY LAST AND LAST, AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

This machine was purchased by me as a gift to a friend who needed a unit that played tapes as well as LP's and the just love it. They owned one before and insisted on this one.Highly reccomended

I have now found and ordered a British product which should arrive shortly. The problem was that when I switched on, there was a loud and alarming hum, an even more alarming bang and a frightful smell and that was the end of my Nostalgic Console. It is important that purchasers should be aware of full technical details before concluding a purchase - and that the information should also be put in plain English so that buyers without a technical background can make sense of it. The item was delivered quickly and in good condition. I had an adaptor - that was not the problem. Much technical information supplied with electrical products (I am speaking generally now) is incomprehensible to anyone who is not an engineer. But in the course of making the purchase, at no point was I warned that because it is US made, it will not work on a British voltage. Valerie Anand (Disgruntled of Mitcham)

But the "Casette Deck" is a rectangular hole, with one button to fast forward/stop, and no buttons to rewind, or play. It's worse than the tape player in my old Ford.Then the darned thing stopped working. This unit IS very attractive. I was very upset, as this was a gift. Do not buy this product if you have any intention of ever playing casette tapes. The sound IS good. Otherwise, it was nice.
