I do remember my father buying a Philips Compact
Cassette recorder when
they were new and even cooler than my 7-transistor radio finished in red
artificial leatherette. A cassette recorder of the same model still
happily reads and writes tapes on some of my older home micros, despite
being old when they were new (if you see what I mean).
I got one of the GE portable cassette recorders in the early
70's and remember thinking how cool it was and I had a freind who's
father had a reel-reel deck that he actually let us use all the time.
I have had a couple of cars though that had tube AM radios in them!
