Vintage Refurbished [ℹ]
General Electric Model No. 3-5480 AM/FM Portable Cassette Player
The General Electric Model No. 3-5480 is a classic portable unit built for straightforward analog listening. Finished in black with a curved front-panel design, it features an AM/FM tuner with a clear slide-rule dial for easy station selection. A built-in graphic equalizer with bass, mid and treble sliders lets you tailor the sound to your liking, and a bass boost switch adds extra low-end punch when you want it. Lightweight and simple to operate, this GE player captures the no-frills charm of late 1980s and early 1990s portable audio.
Take a break from digital media and live in the moment. Rewind, fast-forward, flip the tape, watch it spin. Slow down and embrace the analog experience that is music on magnetic tape.

Our vintage refurbished players are professionally restored by a skilled team of technicians to ensure they perform like new while retaining their original charm. Each unit is carefully disassembled, inspected and cleaned. Key components such as drive belts, idler tires and pinch wheels are replaced, playback speed is calibrated, and the tapehead is cleaned and demagnetized. The volume potentiometer is deoxidized, and outer housings are polished for a clean finish.
Please note, these players have lived a full life before arriving at Retrospekt and may show minor signs of previous use. However, every unit is guaranteed to be fully functional, clean and ready to deliver a reliable and authentic retro experience.
