All Box, no Boom : The Technics Sitman

The Co-Deck was Technics (rushed?) response to the runaway success of the Sony Walkman.
After the Sony Walkman arrived on the scene in 1979 at a price of 33,000 Yen the Technics Co-Deck M1 turned up in 1980 at a price of 29,800 Yen. Whilst also being a portable cassette player, this was a very different machine in a form-factor that was never to be repeated. A look inside reveals a tell tale mystery button that gives away its simple origins.
FAQs including an update on the operation of the Rewind Auto-play function can be found in the youtube comments.
