Someone at AK recently was asking about the EICO RP-100 tape deck.
This past weekend, I snapped a few photos of the one I have lurking in the basement; offered here strictly for archival purposes (and/or for any academic interest there might be). :-)

all the best,

Inmate51	All well and good, but... Yours doesn't have the word "Stereo" in large script type. No wonder you got it for $5. ;) Kidding!! Cool-looking vintage deck! Thanks for sharing that! Does it work? :)
