    I watched that when it came out, I was surprised to see the longer format. I usually watch these while cleaning the kitchen so I got a lot done! I would love to know the design cycle of some of these monsters. I'm sure they had bullet points of all the features they could include and some might have been crossed off. How quickly could they crank out a big design like this in the fastly changing cassette world? How much development money did it take? Too bad we may never know.

    I know the moaner reads the forum but come on Tech, there's a thread on here showing the Bell & Howell Boombox (TM) from 1970. Yes they trademarked "boombox!"

    A very nicely presented browse through a 1985 Argos catalogue, starting with the audio gear.


    Coincidentally I have a new sealed BASF Chrome cassette like the one shown in an advert at the end sat on my desk here. I didn't realise it was that old, although "Made in Germany" suggests it was made after 1989.
