I saw this like-new, unplayed Casiotone 202 from 1981 online the other day and was intrigued by its aesthetic and its nice hard case. So I bought it, and it is actually quite interesting! Although by today's standards the tones are cheesy, it is clear that Casio was trying their best to create a professional musical instrument, and I think it has a cool retro charm to it. The build quality is high, the playability is reasonably high, the speaker sounds good, and it still works after 40 years!
