I see your cylinder and raise you this...

I was being tested for learning difficulties back in the 60’s in Stanley Kaplan’s home office, and he had one of those. He showed it proudly, but me as a nerfy 14 yo could not be impressed. That was before he created nationwide franchises.

I had that same model when I was much younger. Use to use the “simul-sync” to create guitar tracks. You use to have to set the switches near the tape heads depending on what you were doing. The bottom opened up and the circuit cards were hinged so you can perform calibration if you dare. Forty years later I now have unlimited capabilities and effects on my laptop

I adore that machine.

Have 8-tracks come back yet?

Nice.... played with one of those when I was a teenager and first heard The James Gang - Walk Away among other great bands of that era.

I've still got vinyl, tape (2 track Teac) and tubes..to go along with my compact discs and digital audio. I can tell the difference between digital and good quality vinyl (even though my hearing is not what it used to be) sometimes you see in you mind where the different instruments are on the stage imo better sound stage and sound imaging..the tubes add warmth and may actually be less accurate but more pleasing to the ear..they also help heat the house in winter and give off a pleasing red-orange glow.

I got some tapes.

Now that takes me back. The reel-to-reels.

Used to tape hours of music right off the radio onto those reels. In particular Casey Kasem's Top 40 and the Dr. Demento Show. As well as something called the King Biscuit Flower Hour (and for years I thought it was "King Biscuit Flour Hour").

I have a two inch quad videotape in a storage unit.

A bit different in format I know.

Many years ago I had one of these machines and it was great. The one I had was heavy as all get out, but produced great results. If I be younger and had to do it over again I would have another one in a heartbeat.
