Teac GF-680 Console Stereo with 3-CD Changer, Turntable, Cassette Deck, and AM/FM Tuner

The size is nice for where I needed music, near my kitchen in dinet. The CDs slip off the track too easy and become dislodged...had to remove back to get one out. I don't like the record changer not being automatic as I need to be aware of when the record is finished to change it myself. I haven't tried the tape player yet. Radio is fine.

Follow-up: This one works perfectly. Would like the ability to control bass/treble independently rather than presets for sound patterns.

I purchased one of these 2 years ago and had to return it as the tapes didn't work. I purchased a second one and the tape player worked for about a dozen go rounds. The device then developed other intermitent problems. Not possible to have such thing repaired locally and the cost of shipping it back to Sony in CA along with repair costs are prohibitive so it's in the basement awaiting the next bulk trash pickup.

All this said I guess I will buy another one because it does serve it's purpose. I just hope the next one last more than two years.

The Teac GF-680 is good for the price. However a model with seperate bass and treble controls would fit the bill. A upgrade model would give it 5 stars.

Very satisfied with the Teac GF-680 ... it's easy to operate and has superb sound. One minor problem is that the cassette function symbols are difficult to read because of their location.

This stereo is great for anyone with a vintage style decor. Everything works really well, although I will probably add some very small external speakers to project the sound a little better. Also, the controls on the front are hard to read. You need to crouch down and use a flashlight if it's in a dark corner of a room. The plus is that it comes with a remote, but I chose to memorize the controls. But for anyone that doesn't want a modern stereo sticking out like a sore thumb amongst their antiques and collectables, the small hassle is well worth it.
