Sony officially calls it quits on the tape recorder as the final shipments for the company’s cassette recorders are sent off. The models that were shipped are the TCM-400, TCM 410 and TCM-450. Although rewindable media has been pretty much gone ever since Sony discontinued the Walkman series a long time ago, Sony would still continue to sell boomboxes with a CD/Tape deck combo. The official month to discontinue these recorders is January 2013.
It’s a step that one will wonder why Sony kept it alive for so long, at a time when digital recorders and the possibility of recording via phones rule the Earth. Still, it’s a good collectors item should anyone choose to buy one and keep it as a sign of old and forgotten tech.
