(1) It is hard to tell if the recorder is old, but the Rec6 and Rec10 are old. The Rec15 seems to be available in both new and old versions.
(2) The old player has a limited LCD with no support for double line height and only four user definable characters instead of eight.
(3) The early V2 models were in fact FM Recorders in disguise, so they had the FM radio still mounted.
(4) The picture shows an FM Recorder, but they look exactly the same, apart from the printed text. #include "foot.t"
