1980s Casio EG-5 "Eleking" Electric Guitar with Built-in Cassette Deck & Speaker - White, Made in Japan
Here is a genuine Casio EG-5 "Eleking" in White - a self-contained electric guitar from the 1980s with its own cassette deck, amplifier and speaker built into the body. Plug nothing in, drop in a tape, and play along. A true piece of 1980s Japanese electronics design.
This example has been tested on both batteries and an AC adapter, and the cassette deck works without problems. The headstock reads "CASIO MODEL EG-5", and the rear label shows "CASIO COMPUTER CO.,LTD." and "MADE IN JAPAN".
