JOHN: Kregg? I've never heard of that company.
SALESMAN: It's a German company.This unit has auto-reverse, recording¹ capability², and an AM/FM radio band.It also has a built-in microphone.
JOHN: I suppose I don't want that one then. I don't like auto-reverse. It breaks too easily.
SALESMAN: Really? Have you had an auto-reverse break before?
JOHN: Yes, twice now. I think it's too high-tech³, and so it's the first part that breaks.
SALESMAN: Hmm. You know, the problem might be dust. Did you clean the unit often?
JOHN: Well. No, I didn't clean it.But still, I only had the last one two months, and it broke. I don't trust auto-reverse.
SALESMAN: Alright. Well. We have many units without auto-reverse.Here is a good unit. Very reliable.It has an AM/FM band, built-in microphone, recording capability, and no auto-reverse.
JOHN: How much is it?
SALESMAN: This one sells for $39.99.
