Old School

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 26 February 2008 in Miscellaneous.

A blast from the musical past, this old school analog transistor radio with the tape deck. This one is in my office at work, old and outdated, but it still works!

My father still has his from when he was in college. It seems to work better than any other radio in our house.

Ha, ha... yeah, I finally trashed my 8-track player just a few years ago... The tapes just wouldn't stay together at the splice anymore... Now that's REALLY OLD school.

Interesting detail. And the story is so true with many things today, if there was no "planned obsolecence" we could just keep our old equipment and really use it up...

A proper cassette player, we used to call them ghetto blasters in the 70's, and everyone played them with the volume right up and totally distorted. This shot reminds me of being a teenager.
