I just got one of these as a project. The one I have is not as nice, I'll post pics when I get it in my system.

That is a fine collection of early birds you got there. I had my eye on that Teak, that B&O and that Philips at different times. But the Grundig is probably the real collectable.

Audio equipment isn't usually considered "beautiful" (at least in a conventional sense) but what do you think is the best looking cassette deck out there? I'll start with the Pioneer CT-F500

The silverface, wood, and big chunky levers just do it for me. Absolutely out of my price range, but its a great thing to look at.

Hmmmm. From a cleanliness and "beauty" perspective I'm kinda digging the first post, that picture of the CT-F500.

Agreed. I love silver-face Cassette decks, and for a while, the Pioneer CT-F500 was my first pick, but I settled on a JVC KD-25A instead. Both look great, but the refined lines of the Pioneer are more pronounced.
