'80s nostalgia explodes to life with fabulous colors and shapes on this Soundesign 5967 "Audio Core" stereo system from 1987. With a graphic equalizer, double cassette deck, turntable, radio tuner, and an input for an optional CD player, it's a surprisingly acceptable entry-level stereo system. And with just one minor repair to the cassette mechanism, it still works perfectly today.
Here's a better example of how good the "plastic fantastic" turntable can sound when equipped with an LP Gear Cerapreme Blue elliptical stylus and connected to an amplifier that properly matches the ceramic cartridge's impedance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dklcOM_1zbw
