Testing an Old TASCAM Portastudio 4-Track Cassette Recorder - Is it Still Worth It?

I recently picked up an old but mint and pristine TASCAM PORTASTUDIO 424 ML III for $300, and I tested it a sequence I created with the Roland TR-8s Rhythm Performer and my Roland JU-06A Boutique Synthesizer. Did I make a good purchase?
I also bout a brand new TASCAM 424 Type II Studio Cobalt Cassette for $12.99. Who knew blank cassettes still exist and super pricey at that too!
Here are the full specs:
4 XLR mic preamps
6 channel strips & 1 stereo input
3 band EQ with sweepable mid on each channel
2 effect sends
3 3/4 ips high tape speed, and 1 7/8 ips normal speed
dbx noise reduction
Electronic transport for better tape handling
Individual track outputs
Separate I/O for mixdown deck connection & monitoring
Optional RC-30P punch-in pedal
For this live demo, I used tracks 1 and 2 of the portastudio.
Thanks for watching and let me know what you think in the comments.

to me it sounds like it has a bit of tape warble artefact compared to the original sound. I use a Tascam 2488 MKII though this is a hard disk.

Tape is so unpredictable but I guess that’s the charm of using it. Plus the limitations will really make hard but super creative decisions.

What about some acoustic guitars and tambourines?

Yup coming soon
