  • was it 1/4" tape in those cartridges? I have a customer wanting to transfer one of these and I was thinking of just putting the reels up on a reel to reel machine since I don't have the player

  • Yes,

    1/4" tape recorded at 1 7/8 or 3 3/4 ips depending on if the cartridges are RCA pre-recorded or home recordings.

  • I had one of these - and a later model that was brown in color and a slightly different case design. As a kid, all I wanted for Christmas was a tape recorder.....and I got those two.

  • Wow ...the once mighty U.S of A.

    No wonder people here looked in awe across the ocean.

    Here in war torn Europe,such goodies finally began to become common around 1970 ,with compact cassettes.

  • I think those 'cassettes' were underrated, or we wouldn't STILL have those up to the 1990's.

  • I had no idea tape recordings could last this long

  • That tape is really large. Almost Elcaset sized.

  • Great way of showcasing the cases on the mirrored turntable Ricky!

    

  • This is such a cool device! I love how it still works as well as when it came out! Try playing a homemade CD-R audio CD in 10 years, let alone 50 years!

  • Is your player mono? I found a rare ' Qatron Stereo -48' 12 8-track tape player. It works great and I've been using it for about 5 years. It plays the 12 8-tracks on a carosel (sp?) cartridge made of durable plastic. You could actually store all of your tapes in these 'ready to play' carosels ( like the kodak slide projectors). It's stereo with it's own amp for speakers, but I plug it's aux out into my stereo.

    Bought this thing for $5 at a very busy thrift store one Saturday. Made 500. Ser#499!

  • Love this kinda music.
