Are you still hanging on to your old vinyl records because you simply can’t bear to part ways with them and move fully into the digital age? What about all of those cassettes from the 80s? What if there was a way for you to digitally archive your favorite old-school music that was quick and painless? The consumer electronics manufacturer, TEAC, is hoping to catch your eye with their latest multi-function audio device, the TEAC LP-R550.

There isn’t much information available yet outside of Japan on the new LP-R550, but if we could hazard a guess it looks a lot like the older model LP-R400 except that it now sports a cassette player as well. It comes with a turntable, cassette player/recorder, a CD player/recorder along with a PLL synthesized AM/FM stereo tuner. The CD portion supports CD/CD-R/CD-RW and the 3-speed turntable supports 33(LP)/45(EP)/78(SP) and has an auto return. It also comes with a remote control and has built-in 3.5W x 2ch speakers.

The TEAC will hit the store shelves in Japan at the end of the month and will retail for about $750.
