Members mariuspirvu Posted March 25, 2022 Members Report Posted March 25, 2022 I apologize if I seem to be taking over this thread but I'm really feeling inspired. I grew up with music cassettes and they occupy a special place in my heart. My first encounter actually was with reel to reel players when I was only an infant. My father used to have a Grundig player and a couple of crates full of reels with all the good 70's music. I then got an Akai 'pick up' vinyl player but none of these gave me a high as big as being able to load video games like Dizzy on a ZX Spectrum computer from a cassette player did. So here's my new card holder which you can watch the making of here and get the pattern here. Quote

Contributing Member fredk Posted March 26, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted March 26, 2022 My #1 son still has an 8-track. In his 1978-year Cadillac Coup DeVille. I think he pinched all the tapes from my '78 Caddy for his un Quote
