Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

"Tis the season."

We didn't have a lot of Plasticville Houses under the tree, but we had a few...

One of my sixth-grade teachers had one of those in his room. He was pretty cool. If we were well behaved, and had some kind of assignment we could do quietly (reading in our books, or writing a report or some such), he'd switch on the ree-to-reel, on which he'd recorded some of the latest music, to help the time pass. :thumbsup:
 
Wollensak 8-Track Recorder

View attachment 4087494

I got a Lloyd's 8-Track recorder for my 13th birthday in May of 1972. It was an expensive birthday present, so I chipped in half with money that I mad delivering newspapers. I seem to remember it costing $119.95 at Kelly & Cohen.

It went well with the stereo that I got for Christmas the previous December.
