Panasonic Easa-Phone Double Cassette Answering Machine

This is my Easa-Phone Dual Cassette ANALOG (CassetteMaster) Answering Machine, it uses an endless looping tape for the outgoing message and its 30 seconds long, and this unit can actually be used as a standard cassette player/recorder I wouldnt put an album on tape in this unit but in this video I put a cassette Adaptor in there and play my iPod thru it, im not sure if this thing is vintage but it might be, also i kinda mis read the model number its KX-T1418 and I said KX-1416 but I was reading it thru the camera my bad

Never expected a response, so I am thankful! Is there an inexpensive model at GE or elsewhere? I need one urgently that records BOTH sides of a telephonic conversation. Thanks again,

Gus

I'm not sure if you can even buy these anymore but if you have an older phone one with a handset with no keypad you can get a device that hooks between the handset and phone and it records everything to a standard tape. There are other more expensive devices that simply hook to the phone line. I have a mini recorder that can record cell phone calls but I just use it as a cheapo recorder and I convert songs to play on it.

I have a similar "Auto-logic" answering machine. Can I record my telephone conversation (both ways) on the cassette? IE, can I record my conversations?

Thank you,

I don't think this model has that feature but I had a GE one a long time ago that did have a phone record feature. I think it records both sides.

I certainly like the old analogs better... many more pluses with it. Digital phones get full after 20 or so messages. Analog is much simpler: just stick in a 120 min tape and it goes on till the tape ends; easier to record your own outgoing message; and you can keep archives of all your messages (if you choose), since it's on cassette. Luckily I still have a large supply of blank cassettes. So what if you have to rewind and forward...I miss it! Some retro still has a place on my table!

My dad had an analog 2 tape GE answering machine and my favorite thing that i just loved about it is that it has full playback including rew and FF so I could play back any tape including albums on tape which was really cool. the problem is that the audio was lower on playback of music tapes than that of recorded messages.

nice these old units are built to last and they sound better than the new digital ones but the newest digital ones dont sound too bad. they need to use a music codec to encode the voice and not a wobbly crappy narrow band voice only codec.

I still use one of those and Its still going strong on the origianl tape.
