    One of the first cassette players from 1966, the Grundig C 100, for those looking for early tapes, the Grundig must be liquid gold!

    They've started dropping in price, I might pick one up. It looks like they came in black and silver? The silver looks good in the photos but it's very telling of the future colors of bbx's and stereo equipment.

    It's wild how there were so many different versions but we saw that with most of the tape media until one version won.

    Thanks to your post, I advised this model (mostly because of an unknown tape format) to my hobby pal, a vivid collector of our stuff, over 500 boomboxes in his collection, and he recently bought it with a few tapes. :)
