I think my love of the format started with seeing Clockwork Orange at our local college campus theatre in the early 80's. It's amazing now that...
I think that was the dilemma Jorge, you had to come up with a new "eco-system" for the smaller format and the little players were already priced...
mrp32Dave, that's a world class collection, I can't imagine how long it would take to even put that together today, I've got two or three units...
It looks like Marantz UNIX had a model in the line-up, the UNIX-2, at close to $430.00 USD in the early 80s. Extremely rare, maybe JDM only?...
Studio-Standard was on all their equipment, we mostly saw the big "stack" systems that any 14 year old would have. Fisher owned this market...

Sometimes when I'm knee's deep in spreadsheets I find these cool little threads to divert my attention. I've got a box down in the stacks full of...
Congratulations on your tape deck and don't forget to hit up the thrift stores once in a while. I bought one Nakamichi on ebay years ago but the...
Thanks Patron! The little one like yours is 100v, I bought one of those 120v to 100v wall warts recommended in another thread for $24.00 USD so...
Awesome finds Elite-ist! I'll pick up commercial tapes once in a while but haven't scored anything in years, the last time I found cool stuff was...
