Hello Ali, and welcome.

Is the EL3302 the cassette recorder in a black plastic case with a silver speaker grille, "joystick" control and an edgewise meter, that runs off 5 x SP11 batteries? If so, these turn up regularly on eBay, and so it might be worth looking there.

Nick.

Hi, This model with the "square" red record button turns up quite regularly at boot sales {Maybe not in Kuwait !!!} but also on Ebay etc .. The earlier model EL3301 has a small red "circular" record button and the even earlier {Possibly the first cassette recorder} the EL3300 has a "white" record button and no safety switch at the back to prevent accidently recording. Let us know how you get on with your efforts to obtain one. I will keep my eyes open for one as the model you want is usually is about £5 or so at Boot sales. Probably needing new belts by now .

I think the N2203 is very similar, but slightly later and with a rather smart aluminium-skinned case.

This appears to be one, but is only being offered to UK buyers. An e-mail might possibly change that, but the £15 carriage rate seems curiously high already...
