Thread: Seeking a norwood xlp quarter speed cassette player |

I purchased over 50 classic book cassette tapes at a thrift shop only to realize that they will only play on the Norwood xlp quarter speed cassette player. Does anyone have any idea how I could locate one of these old machines or convert the tapes to another format w/o the machine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Did you get any results in your search for a

Am trying to locate a source for belts for my Norwood XLP. Electronics part is ok, but not having been used for a few years apparently allowed the belts to not work right. When I did use it, it sure was a neat unit.

Take the belt dimensions to a belt dealer (search on google) the belts used where a standard part and can be optianed easily similar belts used in VCR's until recently |

I bought tapes that say "can only play on xlp norwood long play cassette machine. Does that mean quarter speed tape player. I went to www.ccrane.com as recommended by KKaren and got a panasonic for 45 that states it plays quarter speed. Does any one know if I did the right thing. Also where do you buy a Norwood? |

I purchased a "lot" of audio books from e-bay, only to find out that they tell me that I need a Norwood xlp long play cassette machine. KKaren, when you say a quarter speed tape player, is that what I am needing? |

In case anybody reads this (or the pages on other oddly formatted audio and video material) we have sources for players and parts so that people can ressurrect their various players.
We also offer a media transfer service and/or restoration for a small fee. |

Hi all,
I have an owner's manual from a Norwood XLP that I used to own (wish I still had it) and the manual says that in XLP mode, the tape runs 15/32 of an inch per second, whereas in regular mode, it runs 1 7/8 inches per second. Therefore, the XLP mode is 1/2 speed, not 1/4 speed.
Also, in XLP mode, it records on individual tracks. In regular mode, it records on both tracks at the same time (like stereo).
Cheers, Dean Meltz
