I see, I would have expected a "fadar" like in auto sound systems.
I looked on Ebay last night. I did find some open reel quad tapes. I
sort of forgot about the open real tapes, as they were much higher end
than what I was ever exposed to when they were current.

Showing My Age Dept: Turntables seem to be more
available now. I went out
to purchase one around '94 or so and at the first three stereo shops I
visited, the young person behind the counter said "You mean a record
player?? Why do you want one of those?" Sheesh.
Yes, I understand. I stopped by a used music store the other day.....
one of those places that buys and sells used cd's. I was after a
laserdisc. I was told that "laserdiscs were like Beta..... just never
took off." Yeah, right, it was just high end and expensive, it was the
format for videophiles, not the common person. I hope "videophiles" is
the word I want, almost sounds like some kind of peeping tom :-)
What's the Joystick for?
Spacial control -- left, right, front and rear. This replaces the
two-directional balance control found on stereo amps. In order to really use it, you have to be playing
a Quadraphonic
recorded record right? LP's were it back then, right?
Wrong. Some quad reel-to-reel tapes were produced. LPs were *mostly* it
-- Dark Side of the Moon was probably the biggest selling quad LP. The
opening "cash register" sounds on "Money" produced an excellent
effect.
