I’m sorry

Because we can’t speak english

I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence, but I would like you to understand

Thank you

Our treasured radio cassette tape recorder!
Sharp THE SEARCHER-WF <GF-787
From my grandfather to my father
Passed down from my father to myself.

By the way, it doesn’t make any sound.( lol )

I wondered when it was released, and did some research.
I don’t know at all.
My grandfather was the first to get it.
I think it was around 1980, but I was looking around for some clues.
Also.
I found numerous facial features!

I squinted and looked at it from a distance.

First, the front

If you squint and look at it from a distance
It somehow looks like a face.

Oh!
Cassette tape section!
It looks like a face!
And he has a mustache!

My joy was short-lived, there was nothing else on the front…
To get back on track, let’s move on to the back side.

External speaker jack.
Looks like a robot face!

And…
Looking at the back side of the speaker, with the head to the side…
Oooh!
This is good!

It’s a blowfish! ( lol )

His mouth is in a different position on the left and right!

And the side

Radio tuning dial section
It’s smiling!
Nice smile!

I was able to find the smile at the end.
I don’t care what year it was made!

It was a nice break!

This is how old radio cassette tape recorders are.
a treasure trove of fun and wonderful designs.

I wonder what face we will see next…
