Dear Mr Mason

Re: repair of Tashita Cassette Player

You returned our cassette player to us on 5th September, after having it in your shop for over a month, (sorry! Technician off sick) saying that you could not repair the following faults:

1. a problem with the volume control (needs replacing; part not available)

2. difficulty operating the on/off switch. (possible to replace but very expensive)

I was very surprised to hear this, because the equipment is not all that old.(manufactured in 1985)

Therefore I would be grateful if you could explain in writing why the equipment is, in your opinion, beyond repair, so that I can discuss this matter with the manufacturers.(out of business since 1990)

Yours sincerely,

Paul Johnson
