Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Friend of mine posted this on FB the other day, saw it at the Alameda flea market.
Yes kids that is a combination turntable/AM,FM,shortwave/bar/fireplace/speaker system. No modern bachelor pad should be without one.

My mother still has a combination home bar, color organ, record player, 8-Track player, AM/FM radio in her house from the late 70s that still runs and looks brand new.

I used to have the shell of an old TV/radio/record player that had been converted into a storage/display cabinet--with mirrored backing where the TV was--I used it for a while to store a number of things and put stuff on top of.
During one of my moves I decided I no longer needed it and sold it.
But it was never as cool as the one above or the description I quoted.

And I owned well after it was converted.

This has probably been posted before. Again, maybe even by me :), but I wonder how many of us made some great recordings on this thing. I love and miss the simplicity that was the Porta One. But if I think for 2 seconds about Cubase... well, OK. I can live with the comlicated upgrades. We've come a long long way in 30 years. And I'm gettin old.

We owned one of these Fostex 4 Track Recording Machines. They sure were expensive back then.
