Thanks Eisen, My love too is dated, and I don’t really use it much, but a reel to reel tape recorder has to be the best! Don’ t you think? In college I sold Old Time Radio tapes, and I had 3 reel decks, Teac A2300S and Pioneer 707. It was just so wonderful to watch those reels spin slowly and the VU meters dance, and all the buttons and switches on the front.
and Cassette Decks! The Pioneer F2121 was an incredible value $200 in 1976 and looked so great. With a high level headphone output that was actually useful. The cassette was in a well at a 45 degree angle, lit by a blue lamp, with bright VU meters. A great looking set of transport controls, cylinder shape with the top cut flat. After college I could afford a Nakamichi cassette deck. I think they had the best industrial design. Works of art to me. :) Great Memories at a great age.
