Very nice machine and demonstration! I have the E-1, which I found at thrift store for free. It's very basic and only has the 15/16 speed. I have 3 2-track cassette recorders that offer both speeds, so I can record tapes to play on the E-1. And because the recorders are standard 2-track, I can play them in reverse on the E-1!
The "C1" refers to cassette 1981 model, they've been issuing these klunkers for over 27 years! TB cassette players started around 1970. Some models (like the GE) also had a RECORD feature in TB format. The Libraby for the Blind is going digital computer chip books, and the cassette format will become govy surplus. I liked the portable Handicassette TB recorders. This is FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND OR HANDICAPPED with free postage. Disabled people can get the machines FREE from the govy.
Just bought one of these at a Goodwill today. Googled library of congress tape player... funny to see someone else found one too!
