1983 Fisher Price cassette player recorder demonstration

I put 4 C cells in the Fisher Price, and it still works good. It plays, rewinds, and fast-forwards with no problem. It hasn't been used since the early 1990's. Not a bad little unit. I haven't found a blank tape to test the record function yet. I also have a Fisher Price cassette that came with this machine. It's around here somewhere.

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

@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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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.
