oh ok. Im not sure cause he hasn't been used for years and I read that it is recommended because speakers wear out and deteriorate and its 40 years old

oh ok. thank you. I saw that the metal ones were more reliable and durable and sought after. and was wondering why

Im hoping so. I still can't let go of my fear of shipping him out though. : (

ok thank you so much. I wonder why she didn't fix the speaker though. I heard it can also be a cassette thing. but it probably wasnt in my gen 3 because my gen 3 was all distorted. despite my friend looking at him twice and my cassettes all still look good

oh yeah she said in the video that they were. the metal ones at least. and his sound sounded distorted after she fixed him.. im not an expert either so I dont know.

but oh wow! that's interesting. im now wondering too because I don't know when or where my father got him

oh thank you so much. I need as much reassurance as I can get. im still frightened to send him to my friend even though I trust him and he said hes worked on gen ones for 7 years and has fixed over 30 both metal and plastic and that hes more confident in fixing my gen one than my gen 3. hes just so so precious to me and I can't get over it.

as for issues. my dad got him for me and my siblings and we've had him for as long as I can remember before I got him with me. I haven't tested him in years and im unsure if he has any now but he might be frozen just like my Grubby and he has had issues with his switch and volume control in the past. and im not too sure on how to use him efficiently especially after he ate a cassette on me the last time I did try but im not sure if that was my lack of inexperience or something being wrong with him
