battery powered open reel recorders !!

no camcorders no vhs units back then but reel to reel and

45 records 33/1/3 records most mono then stereo hi - fi era...

i know i am getting old when i remember seeing them being sold

the small portable hand held tiny reel to reel audio recorder !

dirt cheap ( this was before the compact analog audio cassette )

i remember seeing them sold in drug stores general markets

radio shack lafayette radio electronics olson electronics stores

they did not sound as good as the 7'' and 10'' 1/4 hi fi models

some of them were called ''sound cameras'' and you had to plug in

a moving coil MIC ( some of them had on off switches ) 3' 2' reels

usually powered by either aa c or d bateries music some recording

kinda sounded ok .....then in the 70s the audio cassette was

a much better improvement until the walkman came in .....

then yopu have a radio and an audio cassette but thats later

i strill remember seeing those small reels going round and round !!

maybe you had one of those small units way back in the 1960s eh ?

i target about 1965 when you could get one of these units !! peak
