mariuspirvu Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
