Optimus SCP-88 Portable Cassette Player
The Optimus SCP-88 is a portable cassette player from the late 1990s, sold under the RadioShack Optimus line. It features stereo cassette playback with auto reverse for continuous listening and simple analog controls for easy operation. Designed with a compact plastic housing and standard headphone output, the SCP-88 is a practical option for playing back mixtapes or albums while on the move. Some models also include basic tone adjustment for a bit of sound customization.
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.
