1983 Fisher Price cassette player recorder demonstration

[JoshGledhillMedia]

I wanna get one to play dubstep on, whats the bass response like to it. LOL I <3 Dubstep

[manyvideoinerests]

My unit had a nifty instructional tape that was blank on side B.

[dynatrak]

@manyvideoinerests Mine is 3 Little Pigs on side A, and a recording with me, and my Grandmother on side B recorded in 1983 after I got this.

[BKDBrian2]

Now let's say if a tape player had a fast forward button but not a rewind one. You could still rewind side A by putting in side B and hitting fast forward.

[dynatrak]

@BKDBrian2 That would work, and I've done it plenty of times.

That tape recorder was the best Christmas present that I received, when I was little. I took it every where.

[probonic]

OMG I used to own that exact player back in the day. I'd love to bring back some memories with the cassette that came with it. I know the one I had it was instrumental music. Would love to hear it again after all these years :-D

[coondogtheman1234]

I had one of these and I still wish that I had it. I remember bring mine to my friends house at his B-Day party and we would record all kinds of stuff. your unit sounds great. if I had one of these today i'd probably rig in an earphone jack b/c I don't think it has one built in. and I'd use a cassette adaptor and play my iPod thru it.

[Dravensdmf]

oh my god! i had one of these. probably my most prized possession as child, i could whip the cassette out and turn it round with such blinding speed. what was thwe music you got with it as well.

[honeybaby000111]

@MMMMMDIESEL oh my god!!! i had that when i was a little kid dad buy from the states!!!

[Lachlant1984]

Which REM album are you playing in the tape recorder? I like REM, I like them a lot, Shiny Happy People is such an awesome song. What's the recording quality on that tape recorder like?

[dynatrak]

@Lachlant1984 It is Out Of Time. The quality is ok. I haven't tried it recently though!

[spjunkie]

Oh a blast from the past. Me and my pals used to record all kind of crazy stuff with it. We had to showcase our knowledge of those wonderful 4-letter words you learn on the schoolyard.

[dynatrak]

@HeebsterPR I think it was something to do with the "3 Little Pigs." I haven't been able to find the tape yet. It is a yellow cassette. I'd like to find it because I have a recording from the early 1980's of me and my Granny talking about stuff.

[back2yours]

Being a young child of the 80's, i had this exact same cassette player. The build quality was a lot better than some of the stereos i've bought since!

[MMMMMDIESEL]

OMG i had like 3 of these growing up!

[CassetteMaster]

Very nice, and I like the music. Looking forward to you showing record-on videos with this and the GE. Yup, catchy song.

[dynatrak]

@CassetteMaster Thank you. I completely forgot to test out the record function on these machines! I'll test the GE with the internal mic, and an external one too.

[ox1de3]

i had this! i even remember the tape that came with it....brings back memories....ive been trying to listen to the tape that came with it but cant find it anywhere!

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Wow, that sounds great! Looks like it is very rugged too.

[dynatrak]

@AllAmericanFiveRadio Thanks. It is a solid tape player!

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Neat recorder! I have a generic kiddie tape record like that from 1989 with the original box, but the belt needs replacing.

[dynatrak]

Thanks, I was actually surprised the belt(s) are still good. As far as I know this unit has never been opened up, and is working with all original parts from 1983. At least I remembered to take the batteries out before I stored it. Now I've got to find that yellow Fisher Price cassette that came with this recorder. I hope you make a vid of the 1989 when it gets new belts.
