Dave James Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Probably early to mid-60's. It was a Japanese deck marketed here by Sears Roebuck. http://vintage-technics.ru/Eng-Playtape_1200.htm Edited February 26, 2012 by Dave James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Sears, eh? Back when stores were excited to have alternative (and cheaper) versions of popular stuff. It's like, ok, fewer songs on one tape, but portable. You can have portable and more songs one tape if you get something else from someplace else, but we're going to offer you fewer songs and portable, because we're Sears, Wal-Mart's not been invented yet, and we think you'll want this.

Rooster_Ties Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've seen tapes like that in the first video (a good 20-25 years ago in Goodwill stores, iirc), but I've never seen a player for them. I think I owned a two-track tape (or two) like that for a few years, just for the heck of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
