I was digging thru my Dad's (yes, I said Dad, OF's. 8-) old stereo
stuff, and
I came across an old reverb unit which i hooked up to my stereo for kicks. It
lasted
10 minutes before becoming annoying and was subsequently removed. I also found
an
ancient 4-track player, which he described as an early version of the 8-track.
Kooky.
On the bottom of the box there was a turntable. Here's where it blows my mind
- it
would mount under your dash so you could play records while on the road!!!
Crazy...
BTW, I still have two original 8-tracks for both of my 'Bs, '77 and '74. I'm
going to
wire the one up for the '74 so I can swap it with my modern tape deck when I
want to
freak somebody out. How many dates d'ya think I can get with an 8-track and
two
sparkomatic speakers? Of course, how many dates do I get with my 100w per
channel,
graphic equalized, CD/Tape combo system? 8-)
