- About 15 years ago Sharp marketed, I think with much success, the RT3388
- cassette recorder. (It was also sold under their Optonica line). It had
- a built-in clock/timer with an LCD display. Could be set to stop and start
- recording at whatever times you wished, had automatic program search (i.e.
- you could tell it to go to a particular song on the cassette and play it),
- and other nice stuff, like Dolby. Not a bad deck - I still use it now and
- then.
