Dear Bob; 
I*m sorry to report that the Japanese shipment had no 
tape recorders like you wanted, only the more expensive ones. 
MacCalltim (Sweetpea) has one like you wanted which I guess is 
a few months old. He didn't have it when I left in May, He 
wants to sell it for $90 as he bought a bigger one ft»Bmthe 
present shipment, I don't know anything about tape recorders, 
but he does seem to take very good care of his. If you want 
I'll buy it from him for you, crate it and ship it back to 
you. If you don't want it I'd best send you back a check for 
your money as there is presently no new Japanese shipment on 
the schedule. 
Sincerely, 
Ea.ll
