   Yep, I own the solid-state brothers to this one, both   
   the Roberts model (very good condition) and the Akai   
   (nicer wooden case, has issues), as well as cloth-belt   
   magic-eye recorder, several wire recorders, etc.   
   Getting a pretty good collection of 50's Japanese   
   electronica going.   
      
   I played it through a 12" extension speaker... rocks   
   my world.  Entirely too much bass for a guitar amp...   
   but seems to work for slide nicely as-is.  No problems   
   with farting out with the other speaker.
