Ah! Those were the days.
You know you are a youngster, if you haven't lived through 8 Tracks and 45 RPM.  Someone posted this photo in the aviation forum of Iwakuni and I happened to catch the rack of 8 tracks.  Updated to change title to "Nostalgia Thread" This message has been edited. Last edited by: ipscone, |

Yeah, I remember them well, especially after my 8 track was stolen from my GTO. I'm still looking for that dude.

And before there was 8 track, for some of us, this was our music source.

I collect old stuff and just started looking at the old professional reel to reel. They still are quite valuable, for some reason. I have seen some sell for between $1500 and $2000. |

Had a 64 389 Auto..Wanted a 4-Speed, but the insurance was too high and the old man wouldn't have it. Even though it was a auto, it would still hall azz.......ate up those chevy 396's. |

Well this nostalgia kick is going to get expensive, I can say.
 This was a pro quality recorder that was used in the 70s. These had expensive state of the art designs. These cost over $1000 when they first came out. I found someone that has 9 of these. I'm thinking about buying them all.  There are a ton of these high end recorders, in various brands, from this era, and they are quite collectible. |

Have you used it? What's the cool factor on a scale of 0 - 10? I remember when I brought a 20 pound mechanical calculator to work. Got a lot of stares. I can just imagine walking around with this and a Red/White audio cable connected to some headphones. |

I'm always looking for reel to reel decks in yard sales. Haven't come across any. I do have a few vintage shortwave radios.

I built a couple of audio cables for my Sony recorder above and made a couple of tapes, as a test last night. Awesome sound from this deck.
I'm looking at a Nagra right now. Probably going to cost near $2000 to get one of those, the way prices are.  Extreme Quality Engineering   This message has been edited. Last edited by: ipscone, |

Don't laugh. We actually did used to have one of those. The needles weren't much more than a sharpened nail.
Decided to buy a few of the Sony TC-D5 (above). These are awesome decks and were aimed at the professional. Quite Good Specs. Click image for larger view  Also picked up a mint in the box Sony WM-D6C |

ipscone one meets YouTube.
Here is what this deck sounds like: Click image to see and hear this in operation  Closeup of VU meters Yeah! I know... we have all see VU meters. But not on YouTube. Note: My video camera is High Def, Wide Screen and YouTube distorts it to fit their frame. Bogus! They need to join the 21st century of wide screen. Got to go back now and retake this in Standard Def.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ipscone, |

Its not like we use it for high quality recording. Mostly we use it to listen to radio tapes from Communications. |
